Improving Your Prayer Life through a Study of the Psalter

By: Randall C. Bailey

How should we pray? Do we believe God answers our prayers? Is it acceptable to complain to God? Should we bargain with him to receive the response we desire? Why do we praise God? Does our praise make him any more “God”? John Calvin argued basically that the purpose of prayer is to realign the petitioner’s feelings and beliefs with God’s. Many today seem to have adopted this idea. One says, “Why pray at all. God knows everything so my prayers cannot change his mind. I must pray to discover God’s will for my life. I must realign my will with God’s will for my life.” In contrast, the psalmists assumed a reciprocal process. They believed they could bring pressures on God to answer their requests. They would bargain with God and promise him certain things if he would only grant their petitions. Indeed, this was part of the process. They would obligate themselves to praise God if he would grant their desires. Such bargaining was the foundation of their prayers. Comparisons of Calvin’s views with the psalmists’ allows the reader to investigate the nature of his or her prayer life and make improvements where necessary.

Ring a Ring of Roses

By: Randall Scott

Police detective Robert Bailey, the world-weary veteran, and Alexandra Tyler, his beautiful, energetic partner, struggle to solve a series of staggeringly brutal murders. They discover a frightening link to the bubonic plague. Bailey and Tyler must also capture a sociopath and his two accomplices, who are terrorizing the community with their own brand of cruelty. "Jake's hand stopped in mid-swing. He slowly reached out and held her head with both hands and wiped the blood and tears from under her eyes with his thumbs. The room was deathly quiet. The only sound was Rachel's sniffles and coughs. Jake first turned his head toward Trigger and then at Pooch and said, 'she's sorry.' Jake smiled at Pooch and Pooch smiled at Jake." Discover the complicated, caring, often humorous relationship between Bailey and Tyler. "A ruminant is a hoofed animal that chews cud and has a complex three-or-four chambered stomach," said Bailey. "Look, who you date is your business, Bobby." Some books are read over several days or weeks or months. In this case, be sure you set aside a weekend before you begin Ring a Ring of Roses, because you will not put it down until its exciting, climactic ending.
