Praying For Your Second Chance by Elmer L Towns

Walking Through the Wilderness with the IsraelitesElmer Towns continues in the "Praying the Scriptures Series" penning prayers drawn from prayers found in the Old Testament books of Numbers and Deuteronomy in "Praying for Your Second Chance." Known for his poetic style of transliteration Towns goes through the narrative of the scriptural passages chapter by chapter in his unique style of paraphrasing and filling in background with personal observations. He incorporates a prayer or prayers that relate directly to an application, a question, or an insight from the Biblical reference.I particularly enjoyed the prayers under the title "My Time to Pray," as they encapsulate the essence of the specific lessons and concepts God wants the reader to personally take away from the passage.These prayers also lead the reader into a sense of personal worship, as they experience the presence of the God of Israel, the God of creation, and the God who sent His Son to atone for man sinfulness.
These are humble prayers of submission, prayers of thanksgiving, and prayers offering praise to a majestic and awesome God.Towns introduces an up to date relevance through the messages of this series. His detailed descriptive phrases bring the scriptures to life. The historical summary of the book of Numbers reads like current events including familiar names and places.The message recorded in the book of Deuteronomy calls for obedience, warns of judgments, and offers covenant renewal. Towns writes in a style easily understood while emphasizing personal applications for everyday living."Praying For Your Second Chance" is a valuable book for Pastors and Bible Teachers. The message and prayers also offer an important resource for every Christian looking for a meaningful Bible study with applications to incorporate in their daily devotional reading.Destiny Image, Inc., 978-0768427608As reviewed for Midwest Book Review
