Prayer: How Praying Together Shapes the Church

Description

What is the role of corporate prayer in the church?

Prayer is as necessary to the Christian as breathing is to the human body—yet it often does not come naturally. In many churches, prayer is gradually pushed aside in favor of programs, strategies, and practical methods that promise visible results.

In Prayer: How Praying Together Shapes the Church, John Onwuchekwa highlights the importance of corporate prayer as a central practice of the local church. By examining Jesus’ teaching on prayer and the example of the early Christians, this book helps believers rediscover the necessity, beauty, and blessing of praying together.

This practical resource encourages churches to prioritize prayer, showing how corporate prayer shapes the spiritual health of both individuals and congregations.
