How can a man connect his family to God's awesome power?
Many men view prayer as a last resort as a cry for help when their own resources have run out. Others are confused about prayer how they're supposed to "make it work."
Men all over the world are rediscovering the fact that prayer does make things happen. How? Prayer connects us with a God of power and compassion who wants us to join with Him in guiding our families through a challenging world. God wants to involve us in meeting our family's need for direction, practical help, and care. And prayer is our most powerful link to Him. How a Man prays for His Family offers simple, practical advice that will help to start or maybe renew your experience of prayer. It shows how to:
begin to really pray for your family
overcome the typical "start and stall" of prayer to establish life-changing habits
make prayer an effective agent of power and insight for your whole family you, your wife, children, and grandchildren.

John W. Yates explores the meaning and significance of the Apostle Paul's description of the divine Spirit as life-giving. He argues that with this designation Paul develops a tradition present in the literature of Ancient Judaism and identifies the Spirit as the divine agent who brings about a new creation through resurrection of the dead. In the first half of his work, the author assesses the origin and development of the breath of life tradition in Ancient Judaism, with particular focus on the use of Genesis 2:7 and Ezekiel 36-37. In the second half, he demonstrates how Paul develops this strand of tradition and elevates it to a place of prominence in his description of the divine Spirit. This begins with an analysis of Paul's citation of Genesis 2:7 at 1 Corinthians 15:45, is followed by an examination of the letter/Spirit contrast in 2 Corinthians 3 and concludes with a careful reading of Paul's most thorough description of the life-giving Spirit in Romans 8. Yates offers final reflections on the significance of this study for understanding divine identity in Paul's letters and on the possible implications of this study for Pauline scholarship more widely.
