Intercession: A Guide To Effective Prayer

Rating:
Summary: Supersized Prayer
Review: Each of the nine studies is based on a passage from scripture. The study opens with a reflection that is followed by step-by-step analysis of the passage with space for writing your own notes. Tips for intercession, an optional memory verse from scripture, and five questions for group discussion close out each study, which can be expected to take about an hour. The tips for intercession are varied and personal. For example, the author describes one woman's effort to "pray unceasingly," while working at a fast food restaurant. She had little success with formal prayers like the Hail Mary, but eventually found herself offering short intercessions for customers as she prepared their sundaes and milkshakes. The balance of serious examination of scripture passages in terms of intercessory prayer and these personal touches makes for a good workforce for use by groups.
