Leading corporate prayer is an intimidating experience. Many Christians know the experience all too well: standing before the congregation, not knowing what to say or how to say it, and fumbling through the prayer. What they need is a simple, step-by-step guide on how to pray thoughtfully and boldly in public.
Praying in Public by Pat Quinn is a comprehensive handbook designed to help Christians think about, prepare, and pray biblically rich, gospel-centered prayers as an act of corporate worship. Surveying examples of historical prayers such as the Latin Liturgy, the prayers of John Calvin, and the Westminster Directory as well as his own corporate prayers, Quinn offers 7 guiding principles for effective public prayer. Praying in Public brings clarity to congregational prayer so that praying in public will be a source of joy instead of a source of fear.
