From the Back Cover

The goal of any faith-based group, committee, or institution is to further the mission of Jesus Christ. Jesus prayed often, and scripture shows that prayer was important to his ministry. Communal prayer binds people together, and through it, we remain rooted in each other and our faith.

As the scope of Jesus’ mission is so broad, so are the themes of these prayers. With tips for facilitating prayer and words for any number of special occasions or situations, this lasting resource takes advantage of the endless opportunities for prayer and fits all sizes and styles of gatherings.
