    Cat & Dog Prayer

    Rethinking Our Conversations with Our Master

    by Bob Sjogren and Gerald Robison

    by Keith R. Anderson
    Foreword by Dan B. Allender

    • 2016 IVP Readers' Choice Award

    "Biblical spirituality . . . asserts that God is not done with the business of revelation and creation but instead continues to have something to say and something yet to be accomplished in the very culture that isn't sure if God is done speaking." So begins Keith Anderson as he invites us on a journey to relearn how to listen. "My ...

Brent Sandy (author of "Hear Ye the Word of the Lord") explores how oral communication shaped biblical writers and ancient hearers, providing constructive ways for us to be better hearers and performers of Scripture today.
