The Prayers of Many: Many people, many places, one voice

by Mike Betts, Pete Grieg (Foreword by)

Overview

What would the church be like if everyone committed to pray together? What would your nation be like if every church committed to pray regularly & faithfully for the same things at the same time?

There is an urgent need for us to put a stake in the ground and say, ‘That’s it! We've had enough of the poverty, the dysfunction and the pain in our broken world.’ But, we also need to realise and grasp that God is enough, that he is sufficient and we do not need to go further than him to bring order and restoration to our broken world.

In The Prayers of Many Mike Betts not only issues an urgent call for the church to rediscover the power of corporate prayer but equips both the individual and the church to grasp what God will do through the passionate prayers of His people.

Editorial Reviews

"The Prayers of Many' is a book that challenges the church to corporate prayer. Each page contains pictures and verses from scripture to illustrate the dynamic and importance of this kind of praying. This is a book that describes the journey that Mike and his team have embarked on to make corporate prayer accessible to all in an atmosphere of joyful, worshipping church family life."

Stuart Bell, Senior Pastor Alive Church, Lincoln

"Mike has written a great resource which will not only inspire many to pray but gives practical tools for how we can sustain corporate prayer and once again place the prayer meeting as the engine room of the church. Biblical, passionate and humble, just like the author."

Mike Pilavachi, Soul Survivor

"Mike sees corporate prayer as the engine room of church life, without it we fail. He brings great insight and practical instruction into how praying together produces a united army, passionate to see God's purposes succeed. It makes compelling reading and will be highly motivating material for every church to follow."

Liz Holden, New Ground Churches

"As you read this book be ready to be inspired & provoked to the power of individual & corporate prayer. Jesus rebuked his disciples for not watching & praying with him for just an hour. We are living at a time when many Christians of this generation have exchanged the discipline & act of prayer with other programs. Mathew 26:40-41 'Watch & pray so that you will not fall into temptation'. Let us never postpone prayers, because prayer works!"

Edward Buriah, Kerith Church, Meru, Kenya
