Prayer Principles from our Judaic Heritage John D. Garr, Ph. D.
As we search diligently to discover the truths that will reconnect us with the Jewish heritage of our Christian faith, we are discovering that virtually every area of our lives is enriched by the nourishing sap that we draw from the roots of the olive tree.

Praise at the Gates: Blossoming Rose
A vibrant organization that has ministered effectively to the church and Israel for over eleven years.

Praise at the Gates: Shoresh Ministries
An exciting organization that works primarily within Anglican/Episcopalian communities to promote understanding of the Jewish roots of Christian faith.

 More Human Every Day Rev David Andrew
The purpose of our teaching about the Jewish roots of Christian faith is to help believers to become more like their Jewish Lord, Jesus. Learning obedience to the word of God helps us to become more successful in the spiritual warfare of prayer

A Prime Example of Constructive Dialogue
Dr. Marvin R. Wilson has long been one of the best examples of Christian educators and clergymen who promote constructive dialogue between Jewish and Christian communities.

Austrian Church Hosts Week of Reconciliation
One of the moves of the Holy Spirit that is bearing fruit in the church today is a growing sense of Christian responsibility for reconciliation with the Jewish people.

Hebrew Foundations of New Testament Dr. John D. Garr
A study of New Testament prayer reveals the earliest church's extensive Jewish roots. The Lord's Prayer is a condensed version of many synagogue prayers, and apostolic instruction on prayer is based on the apostles' understanding of Jewish traditions.

The Challenge of Christian Unity Dr. Terril D. Littrell
The divisions in the Christian church have done great damage to its witness and to its effectiveness as a vehicle for ministry. What can be done to bring believers together in a unity of the Spirit that honors distinctive but affirms the essential unity of the body of Christ?

Patterns and Principles of Jewish Prayer Dwight A. Pryor
Judaism has a rich tradition of prayer that has been practiced in synagogues and in individual lives for centuries. Christians can gain a new respect for the dedication to God that devout Jews manifest, and they can learn lessons for more effective service to God.

Knowing God Dr. Clifford Denton
Is it enough merely to know about God, or is there more for those who are intent upon knowing God? It is in the intimacy of relationship with God through the Holy Spirit that our lives are changed and conformed to the image of Christ.

Golgotha - The Stone Which the Builders Rejected?
So much of what occurred in the life and times of Jesus was not recorded in detail. As a matter of fact John said that only enough was written "that [we] might believe" (John 20:30,31). It remains, therefore, for scholars of many disciplines to search for clues to fill in the gaps and give greater details of people, places, and events of antiquity.

A House of Prayer for All People Dr. John A. Looper
Every aspect of the tabernacle manifests principles which can be employed in our lives to make us more effective worshippers of the Most High God. Since our bodies are the temple of the Lord, we too should be a spiritual house where prayer prevails.

Siyach-Prayer as Conversation Dr. Leon Mohammed
While many people think of prayer as a monologue, a shopping list of personal requests, true prayer is conversation, a dialogue between the God of the universe and his children in which we receive his instruction while worshipping him and making our petitions known.

The Incense of Prayer Dr. Howard Morgan
Prayer is likened in scripture to the incense that is offered before the throne of God. What, then, are the lessons about prayer that we can learn from studying the incense that was offered on the golden altar in the tabernacle and the temple?
