Overview

Jesus taught on prayer. When He did, three times in three verses we find the phrase ""When you pray..."" (Matthew 6: 5, 6, 7, emphasis added). After all He would do for them, it was inconceivable that they would not even talk to Him in prayer after He had gone. It is astonishing that the church in much of the world does not talk regularly. Luther said that prayer is ""the real calling of all Christians."" Andrew Murray says that prayer is the ""highest part of the work entrusted to us, the root and strength of all other work.""

That Christians grasp the power and possibilities of prayer, know how to pray effec-tively, and pray regularly are great assumptions in the Church today. Sadly, they are often faulty assumptions. In Transforming Your Church into a House of Prayer, Doug Small unpacks the power, possibilities, and priority of prayer, and provides powerful insights and a wealth of instruction on mobilizing prayer individually and corporately. Don't read this book unless you are determined, even desperate, to become the prayer champion the Holy Spirit uses to ignite a prayer fire. With families. In ministries. Across communities. Doug combines fresh thought from biblical teachings on prayer with best practices on strategic corporate prayer. But, before you dive into these deep and wide waters, grab your journal, find your quiet place (no phone zone), turn to the contents listing, and pray through each of the twelve teaching topics. ASK the Holy Spirit a question about each one. ""What do you want to teach me?"" ""What changes do I need to make in my prayer life?"" ""How can we mobilize this truth-practice in our church?"" SEEK his leading with silence...wait for scripture...scribe your thoughts. KNOCK down every hindrance with a prayer of renewed commitment. Thank you Doug for a biblically infused strategic path toward becoming that house of prayer Jesus loves to empower by his Spirit. For decades Doug Small has been a leader in the prayer movement. His life demon-strates that prayer is a relationship with God, not just another topic for discussion. His new volume emphasizes the power of prayer in transforming a local church. It is scriptural, inspirational, practical and insightful. Every pastor, prayer leader, and praying believer will be enriched by the stories, the guidelines and the wisdom con-tained in this volume. Read, pray, and lead. An interceding church is a transformed church. Having been engaged in recruiting speakers for inter-denominational events over 35 years, Doug Small remains among the best with whom I have become acquainted. His insightful content is evidence of the most thorough thought and research. His anointed delivery is no less than that of the great leaders I have witnessed among hundreds of events. While no man holds a monopoly in any particular subject, if one must choose only one prayer leader to study under, Doug Small would be who I would recommend without reservation. Our hearts are passionate to see God's House transformed into a House of Prayer where Purifying Fire is released into those who attend. As we experience this trans-formation, we become fire starters throughout our spheres of influence. Doug Small is a humble powerful encourager. He has gathered information so that we can glean from tried and true intercessors. This book will inspire you in your journey to bring this power into your church.
