A Call to Spiritual Reformation
Priorities from Paul and his prayers

Price for CMF student members: £8

God doesn't demand hectic church programs and frenetic schedules; he only wants his people to know him more intimately, says D.A. Carson. 'If we are to make any headway in reforming our personal and corporate praying then we shall have to begin by listening afresh to Scripture and seeking God's help in understanding how to apply Scripturre to our lives, our homes, and our churches.'

In this widely appreciated exposition, Carson works through several of the apostle Paul's prayers in such a way that we hear God speak to us today, and find strength and direction to improve our praying, both for God's glory and for our good.

'[This book] provides a ... pointed argument that the greatest need for churches today is not education, evangelism, or programs, but a deeper knowledge of God. It contributes to filling that need by assisting those who read it to a fuller life of prayer.'
