Prayer for the church is not a casual practice but communion between Christ and His body that is as intimate as communion between a husband and a wife. And for the church, corporate prayer is not an optional ritual but a commanded expectation. However, having an effective corporate experience of prayer-whether in a large congregational setting or a small group-depends on many factors. John Franklin highlights not only the theology behind powerful corporate prayer times but also the effective habits and practices of a praying church. A God-centered prayer format is central to having a “God experience in the corporate church setting.

Live a Praying Life by Jennifer Kennedy Dean
This 12-week study goes back to the biblical basics of prayer, cleaning out myths about prayer to rev up a powerful, ongoing connection to God that can invigorate every aspect of a Christian’s life. The author tackles the complex theological questions: If God is sovereign, why pray? If prayer is not a way to change God’s mind, what is it? It’s a way, she illustrates, for God to send His power and provision into the world through His people. The study takes a detailed look at prayer’s purpose, process, promise, and practice.

He Restores My Soul by Jennifer Kennedy Dean
According to Jennifer Kennedy Dean, "God's people are 'silver'-they are the most malleable, the most resistant to corrosion, the most reflective, and the best conductors of power." In her 40-day program for spiritual renewal, Dean assists readers in discovering their potential for an inner transformation that will make them sensitive to God's shaping hand.
Based on biblical precedents, He Restores My Soul guides readers toward quiet moments of worship called "retreats"-special times in the presence of God when the soul and self can be revitalized. By emphasizing the importance of Scripture, quiet reflection, listening prayer, and worship, Dean helps Christians become pure as silver. Only then can they reflect the true glory of God.
