Review: Why We Pray: Understanding Prayer in the Context of Cosmic Conflict

Why We Pray: Understanding Prayer in the Context of Cosmic Conflict Why We Pray: Understanding Prayer in the Context of Cosmic Conflict by John C. Peckham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a book!

The main point of this book is intercessory prayer and what is the use of it. Peckham speaks also on the issue of what happened and why God doesn't answer our prayers. This question is one that plagues many Christians alike, and it is one that has made some leave the faith, but Peckham takes on the challenge and explains the view from a biblical worldview. One of the very best things that I appreciate about this book is how much scripture is drenched throughout it.

Scripture is found on Every. Single. Page. Peckham doesn't speak without mentioning scripture, and that alone is to be praised since he holds scripture as the place where he defends himself in the claims he makes. Overall, this book was a great read, and it was easy to follow. It would be of great use to those who want to understand the main component of why we pray.

Willaims takes on the parable of the two sons and gives an entirely different perspective on the fantastic story of a lost son returning. He hones in on the older brother and how his view of the story shows a son who is selfish and uncaring. He then takes us back to other stories within the scriptures that focus on two brothers lik...

Review: The Bible in the Early Church

The Bible in the Early Church by Justo L. González My rating: 5 of 5 stars Justo L. González's book gives what was written in the title "The Bible in the Early Church." He goes through the history of the Bible and how our early church fathers would have received and preached the world, along with translating and formatting it. The book in itself is very informational and would be a good asset for Pastors and laypeople to have when they are giving bible studies or even when someone has that question! View all my reviews
