Description: The
Prayer of Jehoshaphat develops King Jehoshaphat’s prayer in 2 Chronicles 20 to give
us focus, stability, strength, courage and direction in times of great
distress. In the overwhelming circumstances that enter our lives, it directs us
to take hold of the hand of our God who leads us from the point of crisis to gather
up His blessings for us deposited by the storm. Each chapter can serve as a workstation
where we bring others or linger ourselves with God, wrestling with the perspective
brought to bear on our need, as we follow the movement from bleakness to
blessing.
Comments
“One of the most important lessons we need to learn is how to let Scripture
shape our praying. Pastor Stan Gale thoughtfully teaches us how to do that by using
the prayer of Jehoshaphat. All will benefit from the book, but those in the midst
of major crises will find it particularly helpful.”
-Steve Smallman, author of Forty Days on the Mountain
“God is honored when His children turn to Him in faithful prayer in times
of distress. Too often, however, the force of trouble's impact stuns us into shocked
silence. Where do we find our "prayer voice" when our world lies in shambles, fear
paralyzes our thinking, and vicious foes threaten everything we hold dear? Stan
Gale points us to the prayer of Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20. His rich insights
into God's instruction on prayer provide encouraging and practical help for those
who desire to pray with God's perspective for the greater display of His glory in
the midst of all manner of trying circumstances.”
- Carol Ruvolo, Before the Throne of God: Focus on Prayer
“Stan Gale is a fine guide, partner, and pastor as he directs our attention
to Jehoshaphat's wonderful prayer. He sets a pace that allows us to use the prayer
rather than merely know it. The mark of a good book is that it can change the way
we pray. According to that criterion, for me, this is certainly a very fine book.”
- Edward T. Welch, Professor of Practical Theology at Westminster Theological
Seminary
“Stan Gale's book points us afresh to Christ as the one who answers
our prayers in the midst of great suffering and challenge and in the everyday struggles
we face. It is a lively, life-giving book, for which I am grateful in my own life.”
- J. Alan Groves, Professor of Old Testament, Westminster Theological Seminary
