Prayer is an important religious practice that is rarely studied from the perspective of politics – and yet it should be. Though some forms of Protestantism teach that prayer should be individual and private, this is an exception rather than a rule. In many other religions and cultures, the regulation of collective and public prayer cannot be separated from the complex world of politics. Where is prayer allowed, and where not? Who can participate, and who can’t? How should you pray – and how shouldn’t you? Prayer is subject to a host of both written and unwritten political rules. From the Pentecostal religious battle – where prayer is both sword and shield against the Satanic Other – to the relations between Islam and Christianity, prayer as spiritual warfare can be found cross-culturally and across the world. This book brings together case studies of the political salience of prayer in Nigeria, France, India, Russia, and the United States. It deals with Christian, Muslim, and Hindu practices. In a world where religious tensions are ever-present, it reminds us of the intensely political nature of prayer. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Religious and Political Practice.

Fathers, how many times on a weekly basis do you hear the expression from your children: "Daddy Look?" Have you ever wondered why they want you to look so badly? Do you know how much power exists in Daddy's Look? If you haven't been looking at them, what have you been looking at? What happens when Daddies don't look? Are there dangers in not looking? Is is too late to look? Authors Battle, Sanders and Watts tackle these questions and more in this tremendous book destined to change the lives of all who read it and truly want to make a difference in their children's lives. "This is a great book. Daddy Look offers a focused approach to becoming a godly father. Using the story of "Daddy Look," it summarizes these lessons in five key principles: -Being a Godly Man -Being a Man of Character -Being a Teacher -Being a Provider -Being a Protector "This book is clearly written with Christian fathers as a target audience; however, men without a Christian background would still glean much from the principles in the book. I whole-heartedly recommend this book. It's a great read, and I'm very proud that my Pastor is one of its authors." -Grover Johnson, Single Dad "This book will both challenge and provoke change in any father who takes the time to read it and then makes a commitment to apply it. I truly wish this book was around when I was raising my two children as a sole provider and self-sufficient single Mom" -Dr. Anita Latin-Byrdsong - Founder, OVL Foundation A father with the responsibility of raising up a child and being a role model to look up to... "I felt like I failed recently while my 11 year old daughter asked me if I love her. It was a gut shot that caused me to stop everything and have a heart felt talk with her. I realize now that she has been saying "DaddyLook!" but in many different ways. My daughter and I have a new found relationship that feels much different than before. But had I listened to her cries sooner this could have been avoided and she could have detoured from the feelings of being lonely and unloved. The book Daddy Look gives a great understanding on the complications of parenting and how to avoid or deal with these situations in life. -Michael Pine www.daddylookbook.com

The Prayerful Spirit

If we consider prayer just a duty rather than a passionate response to God, laziness and indifference can result. In a marriage in which one or both partners consider the relationship an obligation or duty, the fires oflove grow cold.
