Professor Koenig advances the idea that we would do well to pray in the patterns that Jesus taught, and shows us how.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
John Koenig presents a rich variety of prayer practices that reflect the real prayer experience of Christ and his first followers. Recapturing the earliest believers' extraordinary encounters with the Holy, Koenig offers prayer as instruction for the mind, renewal of the spirit, and help in effecting positive change in one's life.
"Professor Koenig has the novel idea that we would do well to pray as Jesus taught, according to New Testament patterns and promises. He is not interested in biblical exegesis for its own sake or as part of historical inquiry. We brought moderate expectations to this book on such an overworked theme, and found ourselves surprised and delighted." --Christian Century
"This is an invigorating book. Professor Koenig is an academic author with the gift of writing with sensitivity and clarity, and who brings to the subject a sense of urgency and excitement. Whether he is talking of desolation and suffering or of celebration and rejoicing, the approach is always refreshing and practical. Here is a book that deserves to be widely read and enjoyed." -Esther de Waal, author of LIVING WITH CONTRADICTION
