In Heart Cries: Praying by the Spirit in the Midst of Life, renowned professor of theology Robert V. Rakestraw has created a treasury of diverse resources and powerful insights for those who want to develop their lives with God through prayer. Written with Jane Spriggs, Dr. Rakestraw not only shows readers the power of prayer, but also the value of pursuing God in the middle of life's mysteries. In six thoughtfully composed parts, including "The Mystery of Intercessory Prayer" and "Benedictions of the Bible," the authors carefully explore biblical texts and principles of prayer before offering fifty-two topical prayers. Accessible and grace-filled, this book is essential for people intentional about growing their prayer lives as individuals or in small groups.
