About this book

Paul Miller, Bestselling Author ofĀ  A Praying Life, on the Transforming Power of Praying Together

In our current culture, the church and prayer are often dismissed as irrelevant. But when believers gather and pray together, powerful things happen: the Spirit equips the saints for ministry, the helpless are met with help, and believers experience the joy of being led by the Spirit of Jesus. In this ebook, Paul E. Miller, bestselling author ofĀ  A Praying Life, casts a vision for a return to the simple yet life-changing practice of prayingĀ  together.

Through personal stories and biblical examples, Miller teaches theĀ  why,Ā  what, andĀ  howĀ of praying together. Readers will learn how praying with other Christians can transform their communities into beacons of hope and be given practical strategies—such as finding a prayer partner and prioritizing a structured prayer time—to implement these changes in their own church.Ā
