What the Prayers of Jesus Tell Us About the Heart of God

If we are how we pray, says author Shane Stanford, then let us learn how to pray like Jesus. More than Words reveals to readers the actual prayers of Jesus from the Bible and shows how those prayers continue to change lives and affect the world. The book also offers a practical approach for using the Lord's Prayer, as Jesus prayed it, as a daily guide for spiritual growth and better living. The book includes sections on the Prayers of Jesus: the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 5); Jesus' prayer of praise that everyone can know God (Matthew 11:25-26, Luke 10:21); Jesus' prayer before raising Lazarus (John 11:41-42); Jesus' prayer that God's name will be glorified (John 12:27-28); Jesus' commitment to prayer (John 17); Jesus' prayers in Gethsemane; and Jesus' prayers on the Cross.
