Prayer

This book is an eclectic study of some dimensions of prayer. It is a Bible-based analysis (KJV). While recognizing that the concept, prayer, is widely viewed with numerous contexts, this book is anchored in the Judeo-Christian perspective. It makes no claim to present a universally accepted definition of prayer, the appropriate time for prayer, place of prayer, nor the one to utter the petition. The book is rather a collection of sermons based on texts lifted from scripture found in the Bible. The intent of this book is to present a focused study on selected topics on prayer as found in the Bible and viewed within the Judeo-Christian religion.

This book is a valuable resource for addition to the innumerable sources on the topic of prayer. It is focused on prayer based on the Bible (KJV). It excludes the many social foci—so often overshadowing meaning and utilization of prayer—what is prayer, when to pray, where to pray, the time to prayer, the day to pray, who should lead in prayer, how to know when prayer is answered!

This book is an easy reading resource that requires no extensive formal nor religious education. It can be likened unto reading the newspaper, emails, magazines, or TV aids. However, its message has relevance for daily living, the ultimate transition and eternal existence. Thus, its many usages include personal study, Bible study classes, and evangelism.
