Most of us, when we think of the apostle Paul, may not immediately think of 'prayer', despite the fact that Paul uses the word 'pray' in his letters twice as much as 'salvation' or 'justified'. There have been extensive studies of Paul's thoughts on the great mysteries of election and justification, yet there are few books celebrating and exploring his life of prayer. Acclaimed speaker, minister and author Tom Smail addresses this paucity head on in this book of stimulating Bible-based teaching. He considers the practice of prayer as demonstrated by Paul, drawing on key chapters in his letters. After 15 years of parish ministry in his native Scotland and four in the troubled Northern Ireland of the early 70s, Tom Smail joined the Fountain Trust, promoting charismatic renewal in Britain and beyond. From 1979 - 85 he was Vice-Principal and Lecturer in Doctrine at St John's College, Nottingham, and then led a church in Croydon until retirement in 1994. He has written six other books and continues to lecture and preach in the UK and abroad.
