When God numbered Israel he counted the men over twenty who were able to fight. When Jesus began to build his church He chose twelve men, most of whom worked with their hands. The New Testament letters are all addressed to ‘brothers’. Yet many churches today resemble lifeboats, saving women and children first.

What went wrong?

How can it be put right?

Why is it easier to get women converted than men?

What are the differences between men and women?

Is a man’s daily work a necessary evil or his full-time Christian service?

How can we disciple men today?

These and many other questions about the roles and responsibilities of men are answered by David Pawson, who for some years has been leading seminars for men in this country and overseas under the banner of ‘Men for God’.

Part 12. Prayers of Mary the Magnificat

We don’t find prayer easy, but prayer is the vital element in our life as God intended. David Pawson says that Christian prayer is unique and at its heart is conversation with God. Our Father loves us to express our need to Him. David Pawson discusses the privilege of prayer, which he says is practising the presence of God.

Jesus is the centre of prayer – His teaching and example, His Blood and His intercession for us and our prayer in His Name. Who and what should we pray for? What was Jesus’ pattern and discipline in prayer?

The Spirit shows us how to pray and He prays with us. We can pray with the mind and also at a level deeper than the mind.

David Pawson illustrates praying with tears, sighs and using other languages. He concludes by showing how we can receive the gift of praying in another language. A really practical guide to praying, for every Christian.
