The Lord Prays for His Own, Thoughts on John 17 by Marcus Rainsford and published by Classics Publishing.
Focussing on what is known as Christ’s high priestly prayer in John 17, Marcus Rainsford examines each verse of the chapter for both its doctrinal importance and its personal application. The resulting work, “Our Lord Prays for His Own”, is regarded by many as the greatest volume ever written on the subject, and is viewed as a true masterpiece of both devotional and expository literature.
Rainsford writes “Each year’s additional experience of self and need tends to convince me of the paramount importance of being more and more fully established in the inestimable truths set forth in this precious portion of God’s word, and with the sincere desire that each reader may enjoy the light and teaching of the Holy Spirit in the study of it, I send it now forth to the praise of the glory of Him whose prayer for His people it was, and is.”
