Languages : en
Pages : 24

Book Description
Prayer is–as the title suggests–simply talking with your Father. It's having an ongoing conversation with God, where you as His child openly and honestly communicate your praise, repentance, thankfulness, and requests. When we have a humble posture before our Father, it gradually tunes our hearts to His so that our desires line up with His eternal plan. In Talking with My Father, Ray Stedman looks at our deep need for prayer and the nature of prayer through the lens of Jesus's parables in Luke 18.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 604

Book Description
Who did Jesus of Nazareth claim to be? What was his relationship with early Judaism? When and how did he expect the kingdom to come? What were his intentions? Though these key questions have been addressed in studies of the historical Jesus, Brant Pitre argues that they cannot be fully answered apart from a careful historical analysis of the Last Supper accounts. In this book Pitre offers a rigorous, up-to-date study of the historical Jesus and the Last Supper, filling a significant gap in current Jesus research. Situating the Last Supper in the triple contexts of ancient Judaism, the life of Jesus, and early Christianity, Pitre brings to light crucial insights into major issues driving the quest for Jesus. His Jesus and the Last Supper is sure to ignite discussion and debate.
