Learning From the Great Prayers of the Old Testament -- All Christians yearn to pray more effectively. What better way to learn how to pray than to study the great prayers of the Old Testament. I Will Lift My Eyes Unto the HIlls, written by a recognized Old Testament scholar and author of numerous books, explores eleven such prayers . . . [Kaiser writes] "Prayer held a most prominent place in the lives of tlhe Old Testament people. If prayer is that powerful, then the practice and habit of prayer ought to set a whole new direction for each of us . . . We often correctly say that nothing will be accomplished without prayer. And it is also true that if we do not pray we will accompllish precisely nothing -- at least, nothing of any true and lasting value."
