In our increasingly busy culture, encouraging prayer and spiritual disciplines among church attenders is consistently a challenge for pastors and ministry leaders. This theme includes teaching from wise spiritual directors, including Richard Foster, Henri Nouwen, and Ben Patterson. Articles range from "How to Pray as a Group" to "Where Do You Stand," written to help leaders see ways that spiritual disciplines can influence character and behavior. Also included are practical activities designed to get ministry leaders praying, titled "A Day in Prayer" and "An Hour in Prayer."
