Through his prayer life, we see what it means to truly depend on God. Examining all of Jesus’s prayers recorded in the New Testament, this book reflects on the content and structure of the Son of God’s words to his Father— helping us imitate his example as we commune with our heavenly Father as adopted sons and daughters in Christ.

That is reflected in the subtitle Listening to and Learning from Our Savior. Jones guides us in listening to the prayers of Jesus for what they tell us about Jesus, and then what they tell us about prayer. Think of it as a Christology viewed through the lens of Jesus’s prayers. Jones’s purpose is much deeper than just drawing principles of prayer from the prayers of Jesus; he takes us into a deeper understanding of who Jesus is and what he has done for us, and then applies that to the prayer life of the believer in Christ.” - Donald S. Whitney, Associate Dean and Professor of Biblical Spirituality, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary; author, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life and Praying the Bible “Mark Jones has done it again. He distills the beauty, majesty, and mystery of Jesus into accessible and transformative food for the soul. No other writer today says so much about Christ in such profound, readable, provocative, and rich ways. The humanity, vulnerability, authority, and glory of our Lord jump out of every page. Read this book.” - Dan MacDonald, Senior Pastor, Grace Toronto Church “What a wonderful idea—to access the person and work of our Savior through his prayers. The result is a beautiful and soul-satisfying book that will not only teach you more about Jesus but also teach you how to pray. If your soul is dry and your prayers are dead, here is living water to revive and refresh you.” -David Murray, Professor of Old Testament and Practical Theology, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary “Christians with an appetite for knowing Jesus will find a feast in The Prayers of Jesus. Mark Jones serves up the finest in devotional food, teaching us how to come to the Father by observing the prayer life of his Son. I heartily commend not only the bite-size chapters but also Jones’s meaty historical and theological introduction.” - Chad Van Dixhoorn, Professor of Church History, Westminster Theological Seminary OUR NEW MARK JONES TRILOGY THE PRAYERS OF JESUS: Listening to and Learning from Our Savior LIVING FOR GOD: A Short Introduction to the Christian Faith GOD IS: A Devotional Guide to the Attributes of God cwn 4op JKP mjt BRAND NEW TITLE- REDUCED ON 11/4/25  SGCB Price: $10.00 (list price $18.00)ORDER OUR NEW MARK JONES TRILOGY FOR OVER 45% OFF SGCB Price: $30.00 (list price $58.00)THIS INCLUDES: 'THE PRAYERS OF JESUS," "LIVING FOR GOD" & "GOD IS" |

Lewis this book summarizes the building blocks of pure Christianity and how they shape minds, hearts, and actions, so readers can know simply and concisely what it means to live for God.

S. Lewis, that the best resources for devotion to Christ are found in substantial theological investigation conducted under the authority of Scripture.” -Robert Letham, Senior Research Fellow, Union School of Theology “If you are to experience vitality and growth in the Christian life, nothing is more important than using a spiritual compass oriented to true north. In this book, Mark Jones puts such a compass in our hands. The Christian faith is about living for God! I wish such a book had been put in my hands when I came to faith in Christ. Here is a book to read and pass on to young believers so that they can use rightly calibrated spiritual compasses from the get-go!” -Conrad Mbewe, Pastor, Kabwata Baptist Church, Lusaka, Zambia; Founding Chancellor, African Christian University “Nothing could be more important than getting a right understanding of the Christian faith. Mark Jones’s Living for God elegantly and accurately presents five pillars fundamental to Christianity. Summarizing the Bible’s teaching with key concepts from the Reformed tradition, this book is not too big and not too small. Jones writes with the broad and deep knowledge of a scholar and the care and maturity of an experienced pastor. His book will be useful both as a starting point for the new Christian and as a point to which the mature can return. I look forward to sharing it with friends and family.” -Emily Van Dixhoorn, author, Confessing the Faith Study Guide OUR NEW MARK JONES TRILOGY THE PRAYERS OF JESUS: Listening to and Learning from Our Savior LIVING FOR GOD: A Short Introduction to the Christian Faith GOD IS: A Devotional Guide to the Attributes of God MJT CW50 CW60 50% OFF SGCB Price: $10.00 (list price $20.00)ORDER WITH OUR MARK JONES TRILOGY AND SAVE EVEN MORE SGCB Price: $28.00 (list price $58.00)'LIVING FOR GOD,' 'GOD IS,' & 'THE PRAYERS OF JESUS' |
