In order to pray Biblically, Christians can learn much from ancient Jewish prayers. This book explores the link between them and the prayers of the New Testament, as well as the connection between Jewish and Christian prayers today.
The prayers of Jesus are one of the most important Biblical Hebraic roots of Christianity. Unfortunately, His prayers have been misunderstood because they have been read through Western Hellenistic eyes.
In the New Testament period, there were prescribed prayers written centuries earlier that Jesus would have prayed. Christianity inherited these prayers. In fact, the most famous Jewish prayer is the "Lord's Prayer" which was a summary of the heart and soul of true prayer that has come to us through the Jewish people.
In this profound book, that will revolutionise your prayer life, Dr. Richard Booker helps you discover:
The Jewish background to Christian prayers including the Shema, the place of Blessings, and the Kaddish.
The most important Jewish prayer and its connection to Christianity, the ingathering of the Jews to Israel, the restoration of Jerusalem, the rebuilding of the Temple and the coming of Messiah.
The Jewish background to the "Lord's Prayer" and what it means to pray with Kavanah - spiritual focus, intent and zeal.
