Talking With My Father (Discovery Series Booklet)

An Abiding Relationship.

Prayer is—as the title suggests—simply talking with your Father.  It's an ongoing conversation with God, where you are His child openly and honestly communicate your praise, repentance, thankfulness, and requests.   When you have a humble posture before your Father, it gradually tunes your hearts to His so that your desires line up with His eternal plan.   In Talking with My Father, Ray Stedman looks at our deep need for prayer and the nature of prayer through the lens of Jesus' parables in Luke 18.

Stedman (1917-1992) was one of the great pastors, expositors, and spiritual leaders of the twentieth century.  A graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary, he was a pastor of the Peninsula Bible Church in Palo Alto, California, for forty years and wrote more than twenty books to his credit, from Spiritual Warfare to his insightful commentary Adventuring through the Bible, Stedman spanned the experiences of the Christian life with his writing.  His book Body Life had a tremendous impact on the church in the twentieth century.
