Desperate People Desperate Prayers

Desperate People, Desperate Prayers is an assemblage of words spoken to God -- supplication sent out to Him to give thanks, ask for mercy, seek direction, or show praise. Supplemented with thoughtful explanation and commentary on their significance, each prayer is broken down into a perfect introduction to the Old Testament.

To many Christians, the Old Testament is too troubling, too outdated, or too angry to warrant the time needed to wade through and understand its depth. However, Kenneth Peltz has compiled the prayers of the Old Testament to show how God's message is steadfast.

The reasons for prayer are as varied as His powers, and this book includes a myriad of reasons these people have reached out to Him, including the following:

• Blessings
• Comfort
• Destruction of God's Enemies
• Edification
• Forgiveness
• Guidance
• Healing
• Intervention
• Mourning
• Protection
• Restoration
• Wisdom

As an invitation to explore the rich history of the Old Testament, this book delivers a keen look into the very foundation of God's Word. Perfect as an accompaniment to a Bible study, a resource for sermon writing, or a reference for personal edification, this book will enlighten you on your journey to know Him through His Word.
