Author Description

Praying with Paul: Leader Kit contains 2 DVDs with a promotional video and eight 15-minute teaching sessions led by author D.A. Carson. It's doubtful that there is any Christian who has not sometimes found it difficult to pray. In itself this is neither surprising nor depressing: it is not surprising, because we are still pilgrims with many lessons to learn; it is not depressing, because struggling with such matters is part of the way we learn. God doesn't demand hectic church programs and frenetic schedules; he only wants his people to know him more intimately, says author D.A. Carson. The apostle Paul found the kind of spiritual closeness in his own fellowship with the Father that is available to all of us. Praying with Paul leads group members into the Epistles to see what Paul taught in his "school of prayer." In 8 sessions, group members will be exposed to the priorities of prayer, a God-centered framework for prayer, and practices for a more meaningful and dynamic prayer life. Christians today can still achieve the confidence Paul enjoyed by following his life-shaping principles and searching for a deeper devotional experience. Kit Includes a small-group member Study Guide and 2 DVDs with a promotional video and eight 15-minute teaching sessions. Features: Teaching from D.A. Carson; Leader tips; Fresh commentary for personal study segments; 8-session Study Guide with group and personal component; In-depth video presentation; Group experience driven by content from Carson's book on prayer. - Publisher.
