Praying Our Fathers: the Secret Mercies of Ancestral Intercession (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780984343294)

Your beloved dead care for you just as much now as when you could embrace them in life. And when your heart aches and the stresses of this life swirl about, you can be connected with them through the precious bond of prayer. This book empowers you with the knowledge of how to draw upon the love that never died from the hearts of the dead.

In this book you will learn that more than three thousand years ago, a man dropped down upon the graves of his ancestors and uttered a simple prayer. It was a prayer of desperation while he was facing a crisis in his life. But the style and type of prayer he offered then faded into near oblivion over time.

Dr. Keith Massey, a scholar of Biblical languages and literature, provides evidence that a powerful and important form of prayer once thrived among the People of God. In addition to asking God directly for assistance, people once also regularly asked their beloved ancestors to "seek mercies" from God on their behalf.

Dr. Massey shows you how you can revive this ancient practice--known as "Ancestral Intercession"--in your own personal spiritual life and reclaim all the many blessings God wills for you and your loved ones.
