MEADVILLE, Pa., June 30, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Habakkuk: A
Conversation with God about Prayer: A Fresh and Unique Approach to
the Book of Habakkuk": a brilliant study that dives into the book
of Habakkuk and provides a brand new perspective into the truths of
God and His greatness. "Habakkuk: A Conversation with God about
Prayer: A Fresh and Unique Approach to the Book of Habakkuk" is the
creation of published author Dr. Byron
Allen Jr, a retired pastor of churches affiliated with the
Southern Baptist Convention. He has an extremely strong desire to
help Christians develop a close personal relationship with God and
grow in the art of worshipping God.
Dr. Allen Jr. writes, "Lord, you are not listening to me! You
are not answering my prayer! The circumstances are getting worse
since I started praying and not better.
"Habakkuk was a praying prophet. Prayer is always a contemporary
experience. Modern day people who pray are generally praying about
contemporary experiences. These facts combine to constitute
Habakkuk as a very contemporary book. It was relevant for the
circumstances of his day and it is also relevant for praying people
in this day or in any day.
"The book of Habakkuk is actually the record of a conversation
between God and the prophet about God answering prayer. Habakkuk
accused God of not hearing and answering his prayer. Some writers
describe Habakkuk as a Minor Prophet. This study presents him as a
Major Pray-er! The book of Habakkuk
is the record of that conversation between God and Habakkuk about
that supposed non-answer. Habakkuk is one of the best sources of
information on prayer to be found in the Bible.
"God told Habakkuk to observe what was happening in the nations
of his world. This would help him to discover the activity of God
and he would wonder marvelously. Habakkuk saw God as too holy,
just, and pure to look on sin. But God showed him the sin of
Babylon and Judah. Habakkuk decided to find a place upon a guard
tower from which he could see God at work. He knew God would rebuke
him for his accusation of no answer. The answer to Habakkuk's
prayer was God's planned use of sinful Babylon as an instrument of
judgment upon sinful Judah. God instructed Habakkuk to write a
clear record of what he saw. Chapter 2 is that record.
"The third chapter of Habakkuk is a prayer/praise song. God has
been found faithful in listening and answering prayers. That is the
important thing which we hope to see and understand in this study.
From this conversation between Habakkuk and God and the assurance
which Habakkuk receives, we are taught so very much about the
character and conduct of God, and about his response to the prayers
of his people.
"In chapter 3 Habakkuk closes his book with an extremely strong
and meaningful statement of commitment to God. This dedication
nullifies all that Habakkuk had said in his complaint of chapter 1
about God's non-answer to his prayer. And above all it reveals that
Habakkuk did come to 'wonder marvelously' at the greatness of
God.
"I close this study of Habakkuk with an addendum posing a
hypothetical, but very important, question. Read the book and seek
God's answer to the question."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Dr. Byron Allen Jr's new book is a profound read
