Talking to God: Theology of Prayer

Theology of Prayer by 
Thomas L. Constable

Theology of Prayer identifies the alternatives that are passed as prayer missing out its essence and that could be the reason behind unanswered prayers. Thomas Constable initiates a conversation on the conditions associated with a prayer, he also presents detailed analyses of other methods of communication with God and how we can access a greater meaning if we pay attention. 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.

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.

12 Steps to Intercession

Intercession by

12 Steps to Intercession Training is an earnest and straightforward guide to intercessory prayer, a form of prayer that begs God to meet your needs as well as the needs of others. The fundamental principle of intercessory prayer is to tell God what He teaches us to tell Him to release His power.

What His motivation is for us to pray for others is a common question, and it’s simply because intercessory prayer mirrors His unconditional love and benevolence. God desires that we think in His image and likeness, and praying for others allows us to look beyond ourselves and grow in compassion for others.

This type of prayer is His intimate way of raising Christians into the light alongside Him. The wonders of intercessory prayer are found in its intimacy, simplicity, humility, and genuine openness to everybody.

The Kneeling Christian

Practical Peaching on Prayer by 
Anon

Why are so many Christians defeated? Why do most Christians witness so few people taken out of the darkness by their ministry? Why aren’t churches on fire for God? The crux of the issue: there is seldom genuine prayer. In The Kneeling Christian, Richardson delves deeply into God’s amazement at our lack of prayer, tremendous promises to those who do pray, condition for providing signs, desire for genuine prayer, and perspective on prayer hindrances. This inspiring piece of literature emphasizes the boundless power at the hands of Jesus’ disciples, towards the extent that it is in God’s will. Richardson’s teaching approach, which may be regarded as extraordinarily meek and mild, is consistent with his humility in accepting anonymity. Richardson did a fantastic job of vividly conveying to readers what prayer truly is: a conversation between a child and his Father.
