God’s people know they can turn to Him when times get tough.
Instead of trying to fix things on our own, we can enter God’s throne room in prayer. The access granted to us by Jesus our High Priest is our comfort when the world is turned upside down.
In Before the Throne, Crickett Keeth, author of On Bended Knee, offers a follow-up study of eight prayer warriors from Scripture who turned to God when times became difficult. You’ll learn to pray with:
• Moses in times of disappointment
• The Psalmists in times of need
• Jonah in times of disobedience
• Hezekiah in times of battle
• Habakkuk in times of questioning
• Jesus in a time of intercession
• Paul in times of hardship
• Revelation saints in times of worship
Crickett’s studies are known for taking you deep—then even deeper!—into God’s Word. As you study these prayers, you’ll be strengthened as you see how these godly Bible characters poured out their hearts to God and how He responded to them. You’ll learn how to pray with the same power when you feel weak, helpless, stressed, or afraid. As you turn your focus toward God’s character through prayer, He will supply the strength you need to face whatever is before you. Because that’s the privilege you have when you come Before the Throne.
“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” Hebrews 4:16

The Gospel is more powerful, more redeeming, and greater than we live.
I have been deeper in sin than most, like Paul, the woman at the well, and Peter after his denial. I have missed God, lived as an outcast sinner, and denied God’s presence and power in my life. Yet God has shown me His New Covenant of hope, the secret of hope I live by and love.
If you or someone you love has an ugly, seemingly unforgivable past like mine, you too can know by evidence from the Bible that you can be forgiven. You can learn to live forgiven, with a clear conscience. The relief from all guilt and shame is a pivotal gift of the Gospel that we get the privilege of offering in turn to others!
Are you or someone you care about down-trodden? Forgotten? Guilt-ridden? This book is for you. If you’ve had an abortion; if you’re gender questioning; if you’ve been abused or addicted, it’s for you. It is for those society has given up on; it’s for the worst of us and the “best” of us. It’s for those who think they are good enough and not sinners. All people everywhere can turn, look at Christ’s love, receive His forgiveness, and know His salvation. He forgives murder—His grace changes everything!
Uniquely conveying truths through a series of four elephant parables, this book seeks to reveal the magnitude of what is at stake when we live true to the real Gospel, and what happens when we understand and herald the Gospel in the power Christ entrusted to us. May we use it for His glory, to advance His kingdom; for He came to save, not condemn.
