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 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 in Christendom is the Lords Prayer which was a summary of the heart and soul to true prayer that has come to us through the Jewish people. In order to pray Biblically, Christians can learn much from ancient Jewish prayers, their place in the New Testament, the way Jews pray today, and the connection of Jewish prayers to Christian prayers. In this profound book that will revolutionize 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 ancient 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 Lords Prayer and what it means to pray with Kavanah spiritual focus, intent and zeal.
