A prophetic call to prayer, revealing God's heart for Israel and urging targeted, biblical intercession for God's chosen people.

Gods love for His chosen nation Israel and desire for its people to draw closer to Him radiates throughout the pages of The Israel Letters. The letters are penned to her beloved sibling, Israel, by a writer, the author names Grace. Those who love Israel and desire to pray for the nation will be greatly encouraged by the words of hope, faith, and trust found in each letter. Written with love and endorsed by the great grace God shows toward Israel, the letters include insights of wisdom and joy, the signets of those who believe deeply in the Holy One of Israel. The Israel Letters combines two of the most powerful tools in the world: prayer and the written word. Its pages are filled with Scripture references and prayers to inspire intercession. Israel is a Jewish state, but not all in Israel are people of faith. Israelis are praying for their country, and so can you. Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come. Psalm 102:13 The Israel Bible Psalm 121:4, 8 (The Israel Bible)

Out of a lifetime's experience of inspiring and leading people to pray for Israel, the author illustrates the hope we should all have in God's covenant with Israel. Yet Israel is a conundrum, not only for world politicians and leaders, but also for the Church. Whatever political position one may take with Israel, or the indignation felt through the policies of this tiny nation, one thing is made absolutely clear in the Old and New Testament of the Bible: Israel was and still is a chosen nation, set apart as a beacon for God's redemptive plans as we move towards the End of the Age. Whilst the world's critical attention is focused on the conflict raging within and around Israel, this book will inspire you to be part of God's plans for Israel through prayer and intercession.

We the People explores John Howard Yoder’s account of peoplehood and develops an appreciative revision that considers the politics of Jesus in relation to the people of Israel. This revision articulates the theopolitical stakes in relation to the modern nation-state’s claims to peoplehood and the observable effects of its exegetical and historical moorings in self-assertion as the new and purified Israel. Tommy Givens then undertakes a critical engagement with Karl Barth’s account of God’s election and a theologically sensitive exegesis of key biblical texts in dialogue with Carl Schmitt, Jacob Taubes, and N. T. Wright.

This book offers a critical understanding of the interface between holiness and intercession. The author reflectively narrates some of the selected biblical personalities and how holy living was exemplified in their interceding for others. Critically, the book argues that holiness in its intrinsic nature is about intercession for others. From the Old Testament to the New Testament, holiness is all about intercession, as has been ably demonstrated in this book starting with Abraham, Moses, David, and Solomon and going all the way to Jesus Christ, who sits on the right hand of God interceding for us.

"In his urgent plea for intercessory prayer, James W. Goll calls readers to join the global prayer movement and intercede for Israel. This book includes scriptural reasons to pray and stand for Israel, eight character models from the Bible to help readers carry the burden and a compelling admonition to pray for all the descendants of Abraham"--
