for both ministries is based in Atlanta, Georgia, in the United

an extraordinary anointing on the subject of Spiritual Warfare,
Healing and Deliverance. In his efforts to serve the body of Christ
beyond his own ministries, he also serves as director for the West

services. He is in high demand as a guest minister in many crusades

"At that time people began to call upon the name of the LORD"
(Genesis 4:26 ESV). From this first mention of prayer in the Bible,
right through to the end, when the church prays "Come, Lord Jesus!"
(Revelation 22:20), prayer is intimately linked with the
gospel?God's promised and provided solution to the problem of human
rebellion against him and its consequences. After defining prayer
simply as "calling on the name of the Lord," Gary Millar follows
the contours of the Bible's teaching on prayer. His conviction is
that even careful readers can often overlook significant material
because it is deeply embedded in narrative or poetic passages where
the main emphases lie elsewhere. Millar's initial focus is on how
"calling on the name of the Lord" to deliver on his covenantal
promises is the foundation for all that the Old Testament says
about prayer. Moving to the New Testament, he shows how this is
redefined by Jesus himself, and how, after his death and
resurrection, the apostles understood "praying in the name of
Jesus" to be the equivalent new covenant expression. Throughout the
Bible, prayer is to be primarily understood as asking God to
deliver on what he has already promised?as Calvin expressed it,
"through the gospel our hearts are trained to call on God's name"
(Institutes 3.20.1). This New Studies in Biblical Theology volume
concludes his valuable study with an afterword offering pointers to
application to the life of the church today. Addressing key issues
in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical
Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understand
their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson, aiming to
simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with current
scholarship and to point the way ahead.
"Cats help me pray," says Herbert Brokering. This collection of
whimsical, insightful psalms, or prayers, is based on Brokering's
observations of cats he has known through his life - farm cats,
house cats, alley cats. Each psalm expresses an observation about a
cat's nature, written in the "voice" of the cat, followed by a
prayer in which the human spirit speaks of its cat-like nature to
God. Cat Psalms is for those who wish to pray more deeply, with
more imagination and understanding, and offers fresh ways to see
ourselves and new ways to pray.
In the 300 years since its initial publication, Li Yu's book has
been widely read in China, where it is recognized as a benchmark of
erotic literature and currently enjoys the distinction of being a
banned-in-Beijing classic.
