Publisher's Synopsis
"The Hidden Life of Jesus: Learning to Pray with Power and Purpose" by Dr. Michael H Yeager is a captivating exploration of Jesus's formative years before His public ministry. This book takes a deep dive into the 27 years leading up to His baptism by John the Baptist, a time often overlooked in discussions of Jesus's life.
Dr. Yeager focuses on the foundation of Jesus's success in His mission: His profound prayer life and unbreakable oneness with the Father. The book highlights how Jesus's sinlessness and strength were rooted in His consistent, fervent prayers, a theme echoed throughout the Gospels with over seventy references to prayer. What makes this book unique is its revelation of Jesus's life as more than just His public ministry. It presents the argument that the well-known three-and-a-half years of teaching and miracles were merely the visible outcomes of His deep, often unseen, spiritual practices. By weaving together insights from both the Old and New Testament, Dr. Yeager not only narrates the story of Jesus's life but also provides a blueprint for a powerful prayer life. This work is more than a historical account; it is an invitation to experience the transformative power of prayer, drawing inspiration from the greatest example, Jesus Himself.
