Calling Home: Simple and Powerful Prayers for Everyone

Calling Home: Simple and Powerful Prayers for Everyone by Linda Schubert is another gentle, practical prayer resource from the author of the bestselling Miracle Hour, True Confessions, and Miracle Moments. This booklet gently invites readers into a deeper, more intimate and personal relationship with God -- presented as our true and lasting "Home." It bridges the gap between knowing about God and truly experiencing God living in us and with us.

Its value lies in its warmth and accessibility: Schubert shares vulnerable ups and downs from her own spiritual journey (including moments of exhaustion, sickness, and ministry breakthroughs) to encourage readers to "call home" through simple, heartfelt prayer. It helps people move from formal or dry prayer into a relational, trusting dialogue with the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), fostering belonging, safety, healing, hope, and daily surrender. Like her other short booklets, it's designed for busy people -- quick to read, easy to return to, and filled with repeatable prayers that bring comfort and empowerment. Many readers find it especially helpful for building consistency in prayer and rediscovering God's tender love amid life's struggles.

Chapter Titles:

• Foreword
• Introduction (sets the theme of moving from distant awareness of God to intimate "home" with Him)

Key Themes

• God as our true Home -- Prayer is "calling home" to a place of safety, comfort, belonging, and unconditional love where the Trinity welcomes us.
• Intimate relationship over distant religion -- Moving from head knowledge to heart encounter; abiding in Jesus (John 15) and letting Christ dwell richly in our hearts (Ephesians 3).
• Simple yet powerful prayer -- Honest, everyday prayers empowered by the Holy Spirit; no need for fancy words -- just honest surrender and trust.
• Personal journey and vulnerability -- Sharing real-life ups and downs (fatigue, illness, ministry challenges) to show God meets us in weakness.
• Vision, purpose, and hope -- God has good plans; prayer helps clarify vision, stay on track, and face tomorrow with confidence.
• Surrender, healing, and the Trinity -- Yielding to Jesus, receiving forgiveness and love, and experiencing the Father's tenderness, the Son's salvation, and the Spirit's power.
• Growth in grace -- Continual deepening in the knowledge and love of God (2 Peter 3:18), leading to healing and hope.

In the context of Linda Schubert's other works, Calling Home feels like a warm, relational companion to the more structured Miracle Hour. It emphasizes relationship -- God isn't far away; He's right here, eagerly waiting for us to call Home. If you've enjoyed her other booklets, this one offers a more personal, story-driven invitation to make prayer a daily homecoming
