What the Prayers of Jesus Tell Us About the Heart of God

by Shane Stanford

More than any other part of his ministry, Jesus' prayers inform and engage his intentions for how the gospel would change lives and affect the world. When we take time to review the moments when Jesus prayed with his disciples or went away to pray alone, we engage both a story and a set of lessons. Jesus doesn't just pray as a means to be with the Father; he uses prayer as an instructional. Discover Jesus' own hopes and desires when he prayed for us to
Have a relationship with the Father
Be shaped by God's wisdom and guidance
Be united with one another
Bring glory to God
Have consistency in our spiritual life
What the Prayers of Jesus Tell Us About the Heart of God refines our understanding of Jesus' plans for his disciples (both in that first century and for every century to follow). By witnessing even the most intimate moments between the Father and the Son, we can learn something about the big plan God has for our lives.

Everything, plus, you need to actually draw closer to God. Great insight with overlapping ideas always heard in church.

For a short book, it was very difficult to read. Very wordy, with lots of difficult concepts to grasp. But I pushed through, since it seems a very important topic and contained scripture and discussion of scripture. Every little bit helps.
