与天父谈话 │Talking With My Father (Simplified Chinese Discovery Series Booklet)

历久不渝的关系

正如本书标题所表明的，祷告就是和天父谈话。身为上帝的儿女，我们可藉着祷告与上帝保持持续的交流对话，坦诚地向祂表达赞美、悔改、感恩和需求。当我们在天父面前心存谦卑，就会逐渐明白祂的心意，使我们心中的渴求能符合祂永恒的计划。在《与天父谈话》这本小册子中，司德曼（Ray Stedman）透过路加福音第18章耶稣的比喻，来探讨祷告的本质，以及我们对祷告的深切需要。

 司德曼（Ray C. Stedman，1917-1992年）是二十世纪著名的牧师、解经家和属灵领袖之一。他的著作超过二十本，对属灵争战有精辟的论述，并撰写英文《圣经探险》圣经注释书，他的著作涵盖了基督徒属灵生命的经历。

An Abiding Relationship.

Prayer is—as the title suggests—simply talking with your Father.  It's an ongoing conversation with God, where you are His child openly and honestly communicate your praise, repentance, thankfulness, and requests.   When you have a humble posture before your Father, it gradually tunes your hearts to His so that your desires line up with His eternal plan.   In Talking with My Father, Ray Stedman looks at our deep need for prayer and the nature of prayer through the lens of Jesus' parables in Luke 18.

Ray C. Stedman (1917-1992) was one of the great pastors, expositors, and spiritual leaders of the twentieth century.  A graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary, he was a pastor of the Peninsula Bible Church in Palo Alto, California, for forty years and wrote more than twenty books to his credit, from Spiritual Warfare to his insightful commentary Adventuring through the Bible, Stedman spanned the experiences of the Christian life with his writing.  His book Body Life had a tremendous impact on the church in the twentieth century.
