Review Quotes
"Calling on the Name of the Lord provides a framework that may be used by pastors to understand prayer better, and in turn to better equip their people in the practice of prayer. Investing time in this book will produce worthwhile returns in ministry."
"I would thoroughly recommend this book as well researched, easy to read and personally challenging."
"In Calling on the Name of the Lord, Gary Millar has done a service to the church that, if taken to heart, will help us deal with a big problem in the church today: our lack of prayer. . . . There is one thing better than having this book in your library, and that would be to read it and learn from its pages!"
"The beauty of Millar's work stems from his keen balance of the scholarly with the devotional. While the material is thoroughly researched and academically robust, it is also fairly accessible to the everyday reader. . . . Most importantly, he rightly grounds all biblical prayer in the truth of the gospel. Believers who rely on the faithfulness of God to keep his promises through prayer will undoubtedly recognize and celebrate the heart of God to redeem and restore the whole creation for himself."
