“One of the greatest debilitating factors in current Christianity is the disappearance of the Prayer Meeting. This book will hopefully encourage pastors, individual Christians, and churches to rethink the issue and give themselves to a recovery of the great prayer engine which has energized the church since the First Century.”  — Larry W. Dean, Pastor, Bridgetown Baptist Church, Nesbit, Mississippi

“The prayer meeting is the most necessary but neglected facet of Divine worship. Dennis Gundersen has written a practical and biblical guide to assist pastors in implementing or improving their corporate prayer meetings. I highly recommend it.”  — Derek Melton, Senior Pastor, Grace Life Church, Pryor, Oklahoma
