House of Prayer

The power of praying in community

Why do so many praying Christians feel as if their prayers echo in the dark or never go beyond the ceiling?

Maybe it’s because something crucial is missing. Author Tom Steagald asserts that the missing ingredient is a sense of deep connection – of community or family – not only with God but also with other praying believers.

In A House of Prayer, Steagald lifts up the practice of praying together as a remedy for the spiritual malady of our times: Isolation. Through his skilful blend of memoir, reflection on scripture, travelogue, church history, and psychology, you will appreciate more fully the transforming power that comes from praying same prayers with others.
