Subtitled “Its reason, its contents and its aim”, this short book written by a long-time resident in Turkish Cyprus introduces us to Jesus’ prayer recorded in John 17.

Why did Jesus pray a short time before he was nailed to the cross?
Why did Jesus Christ feel the need to pray?
Why did he pray for hs disciples?
What does this prayer mean for us?
Do you know that this prayer was also prayed for you?

If you are seeking the answer to the questions set out above, and many others like them, this book is for you!  

In his introduction to İsa’nın Duası Swanson writes, “The aim of this book is to share with the reader an understanding of the truths revealed in Jesus’ prayer, and how our lives are blessed by them.  At the same time, we believe this book can be useful for those who do not beieve the Good News, but are interested in it.  We also hope that, as an example of a systematic explanation of God’s Word, it will encourage those who teach in churches to explain God’s Word in this manner.”
