Summary

Praying together is a privilege and an opportunity to enter into the presence of God in a unique and powerful way. Yet the truth is that prayer meetings aren't at the top of most Christians' lists of favorite things to do. Praying together is a lost art for many of today's Christians. Author and pastor James Banks makes the case for praying together as a means of enjoying God's blessings and pleasing Him. "Amazing things happen when God's people pray. Our heavenly Father invites us into the wonder of watching Him work. It is what He has promised to do."
