LESSONS ON PRAYER FROM THE PRAYING APOSTLE
This beautifully written devotional is a thorough biblical study of Paul in prayer, giving solid food for thought and prayer.
If ever there was a man of action, it was the apostle Paul. He was also given to intimate passionate prayer. For Paul, prayer and action walked hand in hand. Paul's example in prayer does not browbeat us for our failures, but encourages us to pray more deeply and consistently.
Few of us have the ease or intimacy in prayer that you would expect to find in family conversation between children and parents. We need help in this area above almost anything else in the spiritual life?and God in his generosity has provided it through the Apostle Paul.
This intriguing book takes us to the heart of the apostle's relationship with God for insights that can shape our own approach to prayer. Adapted from On Your Knees! St. Paul at Prayer, these daily readings from Acts and the Epistles show us the essence of Paul's prayers in meditation, petition and praise - earnestly seeking God's guidance, confident in the Spirit, unremitting in requests for the spiritual growth of others and overflowing with thankfulness. Eloquent in its simplicity, this book lets us overhear the Apostle in communion with his God, and as we do so, we discover how our own prayer lives can be transformed.
