Our Eyes Are On You: A Study of Biblical Prayer

Very easy read! Very well written! This book is for the average christian that is trying to understand prayer and the examples we have in the Bible. He gives good context and explanations all the way through.I really can not recommend this book enough. I am actually buying a second copy now to give to my preacher hoping that we can do a full class over it.

Nathan Ward has done an outstanding job on this study of prayer. I rarely read a chapter without learning at least something new to me. The "Connections" section for each prayer is helpful encouragement to examine my own prayers and see if they line up with the prayers of the saints of old. Thank you for this excellent study!

This is a great book to learn more about different prayers in the Bible. Very applicable to my life.

This book was one of my favorites of 2023. Each chapter provides a detailed look at different prayers found in the Bible, complete with contextual guideposts, actionable takeaways, and thematic elements. Tracing themes found in various prayers throughout the Bible has helped refine my understanding of what it means to "pray the promises" and root my heart more fully in seeking to mold my own will into His, rather than bend His will to mine. (the true function/purpose of prayer anyway).Nathan is witty, observant, and an easy read.I adopted this book into a Bible class for our church; it was consistently a hit weekly, due to the structure and content found within this book. Thank you to Nathan for providing a beautiful resource that will extend its impact to countless pray-ers.

Please add this to your personal library as soon as you can! Dr. Nathan Ward has done a terrific jobWith this book. What a blessing to go before the God of heaven in prayer!

The author did an outstanding job rightly dividing the word on true prayer with a pure heart. Definitely recommend if you want a stronger prayer life.

umerous books about prayer are published every year. Most of these fall in two categories. Many contain sample suggested prayers for various occasions. Others are devotional studies meant to encourage people to pray. This book also has many prayers listed, but all are from the Scriptures themselves. That is what the book is about: a serious study --scholarly but not technical-- of what the Bible teaches about prayer.The author lists most of the prayers in the Bible, but does not simply make a few expected comments about them. He begins with the context of each prayer so the serious student may discern how to use a similar prayer in accord with Biblical examples. Sometimes what he calls "context" is actually "background" rather than a discussion of the flow of the passage in which it is found; but the comments are always thoughtful.Ward has done the reader a favor greatly to be appreciated in adding to the study of individual prayers three topical appendices. One of these discusses chief passages, which adds significantly to our understanding of the theology of prayer. The other two bravely take on the controversial and widely disputed issues of prayer offered directly to Jesus, and the modern use of the Lord's Prayer by the Church. The conclusions reached are solid and worthy of consideration.Materially, the book is well-constructed and easy to read. One who reads it will appreciate as never before the power and joy --and means-- of communicating with the Almighty.

This is a very good bible study book!
