 "If your soul is dry and your prayers are dead, here is living water to revive and refresh you." -- David Murray

Jesus's ministry on earth as a human was marked by a devotion to prayer. Through his prayer life, we see what it means to truly depend on God. Examining all of Jesus's prayers recorded in the New Testament, this book reflects on the content and structure of the Son of God's words to his Father-- helping us imitate his example as we commune with our heavenly Father as adopted sons and daughters in Christ.

    “This is a book primarily about Jesus and secondarily about prayer. That is reflected in the subtitle 'Listening to and Learning from Our Savior'. Jones guides us in listening to the prayers of Jesus for what they tell us about Jesus, and then what they tell us about prayer. Think of it as a Christology viewed through the lens of Jesus’s prayers. Jones’s purpose is much deeper than just drawing principles of prayer from the prayers of Jesus; he takes us into a deeper understanding of who Jesus is and what he has done for us, and then applies that to the prayer life of the believer in Christ.”

    "Mark Jones has done it again. He distills the beauty, majesty, and mystery of Jesus into accessible and transformative food for the soul. No other writer today says so much about Christ in such profound, readable, provocative, and rich ways. The humanity, vulnerability, authority, and glory of our Lord jump out of every page. Read this book."

    "What a wonderful idea—to access the person and work of our Savior through his prayers. The result is a beautiful and soul-satisfying book that will not only teach you more about Jesus but also teach you how to pray. If your soul is dry and your prayers are dead, here is living water to revive and refresh you."

    "Christians with an appetite for knowing Jesus will find a feast in The Prayers of Jesus. Mark Jones serves up the finest in devotional food, teaching us how to come to the Father by observing the prayer life of his Son. I heartily commend not only the bite-size chapters but also Jones’s meaty historical and theological introduction."

    "Few living voices have proved as trustworthy on Christology as Mark Jones. And appropriately, Jones is not just a scholar but also a pastor. Watch as the nuance and care of a scholar’s treatment of Christology takes on the heart and practical concerns of a pastor. As heaven kissed earth in the incarnation, so here Christology forms and fills the everyday life of faith, as we learn the most basic and beautiful of devotional acts from the Master, who is both holy God and fellow man. I’m not aware of another book quite like this remarkable study."

    "Prayer, it has been said, reveals the truth of who we are. The prayers of Jesus, then, allow us to clearly see our Lord for who he truly is. From beginning to end, this is a book about Jesus. And so, for the Christian reader, this is also a delightful book—one in which every page invites us to know Christ more intimately. Read and be blessed."
