Description
A Comprehensive Theological Guide to the Practice and Power of Prayer
In Understanding Prayer, author, pastor, and scholar Sam Storms unpacks the meaning and power of prayer through a close reading of Scripture with special focus on the life and ministry of Jesus, the apostle Paul, and James. With scholarly wisdom and pastoral application, he addresses topics like persisting in prayer, praying for pleasure, and warfare prayer, exploring how prayer is a profoundly supernatural experience. He also addresses several controversial texts and challenging questions about prayer including:
* Does prayer really change anything?
* Why praying in Jesus's name is not a magical incantation
* The most shocking prayer the apostle Paul never prayed
* How we can ask God for wisdom to make sense of the seemingly senseless
* Suffering, healing, and the prayer of faith
* How prayer brings us peace and imparts spiritual wisdom
Understanding Prayer is an indispensable resource, serving as both a comprehensive analysis and a practical guide for those seeking God through prayer. It offers a journey into the heart of prayer, transforming it from a mere ritual to a deeply personal spiritual experience that develops and grows our knowledge, understanding, and hunger for God.
