Prayer in the Old Testament

Prayers of the old Testament  by 
Isaac Aluocher

Consistent, sensitive and profound, John Calvin sees Prayer through the lens of social and psychological constants and variables. Not indulging sentimentality, the book is an intimate conversation of the pious as prayer can be described as a means to meet God himself through experience. In the most comprehensive writing on Prayer to be found, John expresses prayer as a chief exercise in faith and that it is more than a verbal declaration or promises by God. Prayer as a notion of a promise lies at the heart of Calvin’s view on prayer and it is in this orientation that Calvin’s theology reaches its full potential. The book speaks about the zeal to serve God, gratefulness, spiritual alertness, finding delight in prayer and God’s generosity that authenticates the efficacy of prayers. John concludes that praying amidst dreadful circumstances refreshes God’s love even though that may not seem apparent in those situations.

Talking to God holds a unique place in literature because although there many books on prayer, there are few on its theology. This book addresses almost all the aspects of praying, even the difficult ones such as unanswered prayers. At its core, Thomas puts forward Bible’s message which is a clear ordination by God to pray, the purpose being the prosperity of the person and in turn, the kingdom. The book tells you all that you always wanted to know about praying, it is a book that shows no hesitation.
