ISBN: 1601789165

Author: Sarah Ivill

Condition: New

Author Sarah Ivill contends, As we study prayer through the lens of the unfolding story of Scripture, it will teach us how to pray, but more importantly it will reveal the Covenant God to whom we pray. And just such an endeavor provides the foundation and motivation necessary to enrich our prayer life. See how Old Testament prayers find their fulfillment and transformation in Christ. Discover boldness and joy in prayer because Christ is the high priest who gives us access to the throne of grace. Moreover, look forward to an eternity in which our prayers will consist of unhindered praise.Table of Contents:A Note from SarahAcknowledgementsIntroduction to Biblical Theology1.
