Vincent Brümmer's classic book on prayer from 1984 provides a comprehensive philosophical analysis of central issues regarding the nature and practice of prayer. What do we do when we ask things of other people, when we thank them or praise them, when we express penitence for what we have done to them and ask their forgiveness? And how does doing these things in relation to God differ from when we do them in relation to other people? And what does this entail for the existence and nature of the God to whom we pray? This new edition has been substantially revised and updated. Three new chapters have been added which develop in detail a hint by G.K. Chesterton that faith 'is not a thing like a theory but a thing like a love affair.' Since prayer is the expression of this 'love affair' it is also the clue to understanding the nature of faith. These chapters contribute significantly to the current academic interest in spirituality by showing how Brümmer's analysis of prayer helps us to understand the nature of spirituality, of faith and religious belief, and of theology. Spirituality is not aimed at achieving religious 'experiences' or mystical 'knowledge' about God; it is primarily aimed at attaining the religious form of life and at coming to see the world in the light of faith. Religious belief is not merely a cognitive enterprise like science; it cannot be divorced from spirituality and the life of faith, and is therefore fundamentally existential and not merely intellectual. Serving as a valuable core text for students, this book also contributes to a number of current debates in theology and philosophy of religion: the debates on realism and religious belief, on the rationality of faith and the nature of theology, on the relation between religious belief and morality, on the relation between science and religion and the lively debate among evangelical Christians in America on the 'openness of God.'

Beginning with his experiences as a prisoner of war, Moltmann anchors his reflections in a theology of life - and the Spirit as elemental renewer of life - which links biblical manifestations to contemporary ones, hope to holiness, creation to community, and politics to prayer. In the Spirit we embrace the presence of God, but we also embrace community with people and all living things.

A more abundant life is within your reach. Join Jess Connolly as she casts a fresh vision for how to break free of cheap grace and empty rule-keeping and change the world rather than be changed by it. Grace is always good news, but it's not cheap. True grace compels us to change, and that's where holiness comes in. Jess Connolly--beloved writer, speaker, business coach, coauthor of Wild and Free, and author of You Are the Girl for the Job--will be the first to admit that not long ago, like many women, she embraced God's grace, but found herself forgetting holiness altogether. Dance, Stand, Run charts Jess's discovery that holiness was never meant to be a shaming reminder of what we "should" do, but rather a profound privilege of becoming more like Christ. In Dance, Stand, Run, Jess shares the truth that changed her life and her faith forever: once we've gripped the grace that Jesus has given us by faith and planted our feet on his holy ground, we become ambassadors of life, hope, truth, and love. Jess will give you the encouragement you need to finally: Claim your identity as a holy daughter of God Live out your holy influence with confidence before a watching world Discover your true purpose Dance, Stand, Run is an invitation to God's daughters to step into the movements of abundant life: dancing in grace, standing firm in holiness, and running on mission.

If God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and entirely good, why do we need to ask God to do good things? Won't God act for the best regardless? Do our prayers even make a difference? Why do some go unanswered? This brief, accessible book provides a fresh angle on our questions to help us think differently about why we pray and what happens when we pray. John Peckham applies the insights from his successful book Theodicy of Love to the perennial problem of petitionary prayer, offering practical implications for how we might pray and live in ways that advance God's kingdom of unselfish love. Since our understanding of petitionary prayer is inseparable from our understanding of God, Peckham sheds significant light on the nature and character of God and the often-mysterious workings of divine providence. He does so by bringing theological and philosophical nuance to readings of key biblical texts on prayer, weaving in other scriptural clues to articulate an understanding of prayer that highlights not only its necessity but also its urgency. This book will appeal to students, pastors, church leaders, and thoughtful laypeople.

Have you ever wondered how prayer works? Have you ever wished you were better at praying? Have you ever been at a loss for words to pray? This is not a book that attempts to answer all your questions on prayer. On the contrary, the author acknowledges upfront that prayer is a mystery for which there is no magic formula. There are Biblical principles that teach much about prayer, and God's spiritual spokespersons have offered insight. But God is God, and prayer is in the realm of His unfathomable ways and workings. Rather, this is a book that invites you to come alongside the author and delve into the practice of prayer. It contains reflections on varied prayer matters that are based on exploring principles about prayer and trying various ways to pray. It is the fruit of the author's entreating God to teach her to pray. Since much of this entreating occurred while walking with her son through his cancer battle and now as she grieves his passing, the author's insights are presented as one questioning pilgrim desiring to help another. The book's premise is that we do not have to understand prayer to pray. We learn to pray by praying. The more we pray, the more natural praying therefore becomes. Hence, suggestions and tools are offered to facilitate praying. Whether you are relatively experienced with prayer, brand new, or somewhere in between, you are invited to ponder these prayer matters and to implement those suggestions for "doing prayer" that appeal to you. Because, ultimately, while we may not know the intricate workings of prayer this side of Heaven, one thing we do know is... Prayer Matters!

This book titled, "Prayer is asking and receiving" is written to enlighten the readers about what prayer really is, the importance of prayer and how to pray. When we pray, we are joining forces with God to combat all issues, to attack and bring to obedience all life's issues. It is having fellowship with God to exalt, praise, magnify and glorify God and His Name. In the book we discussed how we are supposed to pray as Jesus directed us to do before He left this earth. Following the directives of Jesus, we looked at the preliminaries of prayer noting that we do not have to jump into prayer without proper preparation. We must come to God fully prepared. In the book we looked at the main act of praying following the guidelines as given by Jesus as He directed us to do in "The Lord's Prayer" and as the Lord directed the children of Israel to do in the wilderness. After deciding what you really want from God then you must go into the Scriptures and search the Scripture to see if the need falls in line with God's will. We must be definite and exact in what we ask for. There should be no repetitions or tautology. A very important point that was emphasized in this book is the statement that Jesus made in Mark 11:24 where He said that when we pray, we must believe that we have received what we prayed for while praying (not later) then we will receive it. What He said there is that we must pray in faith and not in hope. This is important because most Christians pray in hope not in faith. They pray believing that they will receive their answer sometimes later. In this book we discussed the different kinds of prayer, when each type is used and how it is used. Prominent among the types discussed in this book are the prayer of agreement, the prayer of petition or request, united prayer or prayer of unity, prayer of importunity or persistence, the prayer of consecration and dedication, the prayer of commitment, prayer of worship and the prayer of intercession. We looked in detail at the prayer of intercession which is a prayer in which one takes the place of another in prayer. That is going to God for somebody. That somebody could be a person, a ministry, a church, a nation or even the Kingdom itself. That is standing in the gap between that somebody and God. Another important topic that we covered in the book is the use of the Name of Jesus in our Prayer. Jesus gave us two separate instructions as to how we should use His Name in prayer. However, most of us Christians do not differentiate the two. We tend not to know the difference. The Name of Jesus is the key that unlocks Heaven. All authority has been vested in that Name. We tend to use the two instructions that Jesus gave concerning the use of His Name interchangeably but wrongly most of the time. The ways we use the Name in our prayers tend to show that we do not know the power that is vested in the Name. Perhaps that is the reason why the answers to most of our prayers do not manifest physically. The right use of the Name is thoroughly explained in the book and examples are cited as to how the disciples followed the instructions of Christ in the use of His Name. We ought to follow in their footsteps. We also discussed the subject of, "Praying in the Spirit" in the book. We depend on the Holy Spirit in order to be able to pray in the Spirit. The Spirit makes intercession for us according to the will of God because we know not what to pray for sometimes. We also noted that if we want quick answers to our prayers then our prayers must be loaded with worship and praise, exalting the Name of the Lord God lives in the praises of His people. In this book we also looked at and discussed in detail how to conduct spiritual war-faring in prayers. the enemy's armor and the weapons at the disppsal of the Christian. We can see that for prayer to be answered does not depend on how loud we shout but how much interaction we have with the Holy Spirit.
