The Message of Prayer: Approaching the Throne of Grace (The Bible Speaks Today Themes)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Many books on the practice of prayer seem to be informed more by the experiences of their authors than by Scripture. However, the Bible not only teaches us about prayer, it also gives us many examples of prayer. It is God’s Word to us, and it teaches us how to respond to that Word. Tim Chester’s insightful exposition of this central aspect of Christian living is driven by the conviction that we need to reform not only our thinking and behavior in the light of God’s Word, but also our praying. Drawing on a wide range of biblical texts, he explores the foundations and the practice of prayer, and shows that how we understand prayer is necessarily bound up with how we understand the gospel, and God himself.
