"God is honored when His children turn to Him in faithful prayer in times of distress. Too often, however, the force of trouble's impact stuns us into shocked silence. Where do we find our ""prayer voice"" when our world lies in shambles, fear paralyzes our thinking, and vicious foes threaten everything we hold dear? Stan Gale points us to the prayer of Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20. His rich insights into God's instruction on prayer provides encouraging and practical help for those who desire to pray with God's perspective for the greater display of His glory in the midst of all manner of trying circumstances.--Carol J. Ruvolo Stan Gale's book on the prayer of Jehoshaphat came to me at critical moment in my life. I confess that I had given scarce attention to this prayer prior to reading his book. God used the book to encourage me deeply in a time of suffering. Stan's attention to the spiritual and biblical theological dimensions of this prayer focused me and brought life to me. God's lordship and concern for his people struck me afresh. I was reminded, through the words of the prayer: ""We don't know what to do, but our eyes are on You."" God is faithful, even though we cannot see the outcome. He is the one to whom we look for answers. The book points us afresh to Christ as the one who answers our prayers in the midst of great suffering and challenge and in the everyday challenges we face. It is a lively, life-giving book, for which I am grateful in my own life.--J. Alan Groves Prof. of Old Testament & Exec. Dir. Westminster Hebrew Institute, Westminster Theological Seminary One of the most important lessons we need to learn is how to let Scripture shape our praying. Pastor Stan Gale thoughtfully teaches us how: to do that by using the prayer of Jehoshaphat. All will benefit from the book, but those in the midst of major crises will find it particularly helpful.--Steve Smallman, Director, Birthline Ministries Stan Gale is a fine guide, partner, and pastor as he directs our attention to Jehoshaphat's wonderful prayer. He sets a pace that allows us to use the prayer rather than merely know it. The mark of a good book is one that can change the way we pray. According to that criteria, for me, this is certainly a very fine book.--Ed Welch"
