When we praise God, we proclaim His majesty to the world. But when we pray to God in private, we speak directly to His heart — and that changes us! In Praying the Wisdom, Dr. James Papandrea invites you to discover an intimate form of prayer using words from Scripture and other holy writings that have been prayed by believers across the centuries of salvation history.

This book — a follow up to Dr. Papandrea’s Praying the Psalms — is, like Praying the Psalms, a companion volume to his popular work Praying Like the Early Church. It contains virtually all the prayers in the Bible other than the Psalms. Here he presents remarkable prayers from the Psalms of Solomon, the Odes of Solomon, and the Book of Jubilees — important sacred and historical writings treasured in ancient Jewish and early Christian communities. He also offers powerful texts used by Jesus and the apostles, along with carefully selected prayers from early extrabiblical sources.
