"It has well been said that prayer can do anything that God can do. I am so grateful for John Franklin's wonderful book, And the Place Was Shaken. As a pastor for many years, I have struggled with the subject of leading powerful prayer meetings. This book will be an asset to pastors such as I, and Christian leaders everywhere."

- Dr. Adrian Rogers, Love Worth Finding Ministries, Author of What Every Christian Ought to Know

PRAYING TOGETHER AS A CHURCH IS CRUCIAL

Never to be minimized as formality, it is an element of corporate worship as important as any sermon or musical presentation. Indeed, prayer is designed to bring true communion between Christ and His body; an intimate, confessional, enlightening, stop-everything-else experience commanded in Scripture

And the Place Was Shaken makes an impassioned plea for churches to grow in passion for Jesus through praying together. It identifies the four responsibilities leaders of prayer must execute in guiding God's people, and it gives practical suggestions for how to fulfill them.

As author John Franklin writes, "If we are to see a spiritual awakening, a reversal of the headlong rush into the moral cesspool in which we currently swim, then there must be fervent, intense prayer meetings sprouting up all over this land. If your church would see the power of God in supernatural ways, if the power of God is to descend so that Christians are renewed and the lost come under conviction of sin, then you must lead your people to pray."

JOHN FRANKLIN is pastor of Woodmont Bible Church in Nashville, Tennessee, and has served as prayer specialist for LifeWay Christian Resources. Franklin travels and speaks extensively calling churches to seek God's face in prayer.
