OVERVIEW

I commend to you The Power of Group Prayer–both the tangible, energetic flow from the active prayer life of believers in Christ and the new book by that title, written by InterVarsity Christian Fellowship’s spiritual formation director Carolyn Carney.

Carolyn uses as a jumping off point her experience praying with fellow believers during the pandemic. She illustrates how shared prayer joins hearts and spans distances. Even better, she makes sure readers are beginning at the same point together when she shows that prayer isn’t about getting our wants provided by God. Instead, it’s about the great and awesome privilege of building a relationship of communication with Him and His amazing family.

Throughout the book, I resonated with the author’s practical premises, celebrated her well-told illustrations, and rekindled my joy in sharing my heart with fellow believers as we join together to touch the heart of the Creator of the universe.
