This short book by renowned Bible teacher Alistair Begg combines warmth, clarity, humour, and practicality as he examines Paul's prayers for his friends in the church in Ephesus. Paul clearly enjoyed prayer, and was excited about it. He expected his Father in heaven to hear what he said, and to act in other people's lives accordingly. The truths that underpin and shape his prayers will motivate us to pray and set us an example. So be inspired by the Apostle Paul to pray bigger and better prayers as we look to our heavenly Father to do more than all we ask or imagine!","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51572465172767,"sku":"9781784983369","price":22.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9781784983369_1404318.jpg?v=1769392993"},{"product_id":"into-his-presence-praying-with-the-puritans-627932","title":"Into His Presence: Praying With the Puritans","description":"This collection of eighty theologically rich and beautifully written prayers and meditations, adapted from Puritan prayers and prose, will enrich and deepen your prayer life.

He was formerly vicar of St Jude’s and then principal of Ridley College, Melbourne. He is the author of numerous books, including *Speaking God’s Words*, *Hearing God’s Words*, *Written for Us*, *The Message of Malachi*, *The Majestic Son*, and *Walking in God’s Words*. He is a regular speaker at training conferences for pastors and preachers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndorsements:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAny book that nurtures our prayer life is to be prized. This is such a book. Peter Adam faithfully engages the Bible with pastoral deftness and theological astuteness, and makes numerous practical applications born of experience. A feast.  \u003cbr\u003e– Graham Cole, Dean Emeritus and Professor Emeritus of Biblical and Systematic Theology at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield, IL, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn *Prayerfulness*, Peter Adam’s scholarship is made accessible and deeply practical. Adam walks us through his own prayers and prayer practices as well as showing how they are rooted in Scripture. At one point he writes, “We need deliberate, sustained coaching in prayer, as in every area of our lives”. You may not be able to have Adam as your personal prayer coach, but *Prayerfulness* is the next best thing: a conversation in which he encourages you to take next steps in prayer.  \u003cbr\u003e– Tim Chester, Lecturer in Spiritual Formation at Crosslands Training, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, and author of *Enjoying Jesus*\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are many books about prayer, and if, like me, you’ve probably already read one or two, I hope you’ll read one more: *Prayerfulness*, by Peter Adam. Distilled from a lifetime of studying God’s word and walking in God’s ways, Adam gently diagnoses the causes of our prayerlessness and winsomely invites us into a more prayer-saturated life. With its bullet points, sample prayers, practical advice, and insight into our very human struggle to commune with God in a meaningful and consistent way, this book doesn’t simply tell us to pray; it opens us up and instils in us a greater desire to pray.  \u003cbr\u003e– Nancy Guthrie, Author of *Praying Through the Bible for Your Kids*\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn absolute masterclass on true biblical prayer! Jesus wanted his people to learn how to pray, and Peter Adam leaves no spiritual stone unturned in carrying out our Lord’s desire. He reminds us that prayer is simply talking to God, and that God loves to talk to us about … anything! We can pray what Peter calls “big prayers”, about the world, the nations, God’s plan, and so on, and “little prayers”, about things like our failures, difficulties, trials, relationships, and joys. We are encouraged by sound theology and practical wisdom to pray in a biblical way.  \u003cbr\u003ePeter widens our perspective and shows us that prayer is not just asking God for our needs, though that’s important; it also includes praise, thanksgiving, trust, repentance, lament, dedication and worship. His section on prayers of lament is gold!  \u003cbr\u003eChristians, pastors, and churches in the West need this book, to bring us back to a true prayerfulness.  \u003cbr\u003e– Wally Behan, Former Rector of St John’s Latimer Square (now Latimer Church), Christchurch, New Zealand\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere is the fruit of a lifetime listening to God, responding to God, and sharing the gospel of God. The book is a treasure chest full of seasoned personal experience and pastoral wisdom, generously shared to “help people in gospel ministry to pray for themselves, to pray for their ministries, to pray with their fellow workers, to teach and train others to pray, to lead in prayer, and to promote a culture of prayerfulness in their church or ministry”.  \u003cbr\u003e– Johnny Juckes, Former President of Oak Hill College, London, UK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat a wonderfully helpful gift to God’s people is this new book from Peter Adam. *Prayerfulness* is encouraging, challenging and inspiring. It is gracious, scriptural, pastoral and practical—full of ideas to try, examples to use, dangers to avoid, wisdom to learn from, and grace to rejoice in.  \u003cbr\u003eIn it, Peter sends us again and again to God in his word and then calls us to turn those words into prayer. Sharing his life, doctrine and even his progress, Peter calls us to a richer, deeper, broader prayer life, both individually and corporately to the glory of God.  \u003cbr\u003eThe aim of the book is to help us pray. And that’s what it does. Praise God.  \u003cbr\u003e– Pete Sorrensen, Regional Team Leader at AFES Victoria, Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeter Adam has blessed us with this rich banquet of a book on prayerfulness. It reflects the breadth of the biblical teaching on prayer, the depth of our dependence upon our triune God, and the height of the privilege we have in lifting our hearts to heaven in prayer. Not only does Adam allow us to eavesdrop, as it were, into his years of prayerfulness, but he supplies us with so many practical ideas and helps to enfold into our own personal prayer lives. This book is important for church leaders to read also, for with so many churches desperate to reach and revitalize Australia for Christ, how important it is that our corporate church life is increasingly dependent upon both public and private prayer to the Lord. The fervent prayers of the righteous avail much, and so I wholeheartedly commend this book.  \u003cbr\u003e– Mark Earngey, Head of Church History and Lecturer in Christian Thought at Moore Theological College, Sydney, Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen senior ministry leaders take Peter Adam’s short course in prayer and emerge saying, “This has been the best and most revolutionary thing for my prayer life”, you sit up and notice. Much of that course is in this book. But be forewarned: this is not a casual, inspirational read. It is instead the full twelve-course meal in growing yourself as a biblically formed and theologically rich pray-er. It will inspire and challenge you to further glorify, worship and appeal to God more constantly as his beloved child and faithful worker. It will help you to help others grow as faithful prayer warriors. It will minister gospel grace to your soul. I can’t think of another book I’d rather use for small group studies next! A book to spend the year with.  \u003cbr\u003e– Wei-Han Kuan, Executive Director of CMS Victoria, Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI admit I was surprised. Of course I was expecting to learn about prayer in this book, but I wasn’t ready for such rich reflection on matters of the soul and pastoral theology more generally. Drawing on Bible themes, topics like atonement and the church, and quotations from great people of prayer in history, Peter Adam gives us sage advice as well as a window into his own heart, providing written examples of praise, intercession and lament that he has found useful himself and commends to us too. Just when I thought I knew where Peter was taking us, I had to slow down and read again something that had been freshly worded or profoundly summarized. Why is common sense to help us in a close walk with the Lord so hard to find? Simple. Direct. Compassionate. Practical.  \u003cbr\u003e– Rev Canon Dr Rhys Bezzant, Dean of the Anglican Institute and Principal at Ridley College, Melbourne, Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI am one of the legion of people who have been enormously helped by Peter Adam’s books on preaching and the ministry of the Word. *Speaking God’s Words: A practical theology of preaching* is widely and rightly known as a contemporary classic. Now, Dr Adam has written a unique volume on prayer that deserves returning to time and again. It is full of the fruit of Dr Adam’s sustained personal practice and reflection on that most intimate, precious, but perpetually neglected privilege of Christian discipleship: prayer to our Heavenly Father, through the Son in the power of the Spirit.  \u003cbr\u003e*Prayerfulness: Cultivating a Bible-enriched prayer life* is bursting with wise biblical insight, generous practical encouragement, and devotionally rich resources, including worked examples: ready-to-use prayers for many contexts and circumstances, and concise liturgies suitable for personal, pastoral or corporate ministry.  \u003cbr\u003eBest of all, Dr Adam articulates a vision for growing our own relationship with God in prayer that relies upon and responds to what God has said in his word. This is a book that lives up to its title. It’s a book to read slowly, and to re-read, so as to mine every page for the nuggets of gold immediately and directly applicable in daily routines of prayer.  \u003cbr\u003eSurely personal and corporate prayerlessness is one of the besetting sins of our age. Here is a bold, biblical and resolutely practical counteroffensive that is also theologically rich and pastorally sensitive. It will benefit the new believer, those long-serving in the battle, the local church and the pastor. Highly recommended.  \u003cbr\u003e– Archbishop Kanishka Raffel, Archbishop of the Anglican Diocese of Sydney, Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI’ve read many books on prayer—not because I’m good at it, but because of the exact opposite: I’ve always needed help with prayer—and I can’t think of another book that’s as strengthening, inspiring, practical and biblical as this one. Peter Adam is a sage for the church today. He is deeply honest, sharing the struggles and breakthroughs in his own prayer life (sharing many of his own written prayers, alone worth the price of the book), in a way that provides us with real help and real hope. I’m confident this will bear fruit in more prayer—and better prayer—among God’s people today.  \u003cbr\u003e– Sam Allberry, Associate Pastor at Immanuel Nashville, TN, USA, and author of *One With My Lord*","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51574141026591,"sku":"9781922980366","price":34.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9781922980366_3D.jpg?v=1769421198"},{"product_id":"growing-in-prayer-learning-to-pray-with-dependence-and-delight-542582","title":"Growing in Prayer: Learning to Pray With Dependence and Delight","description":"In a sea of busyness and distractions, prayer so often falls off the agenda.
