Prayer for the church is not a casual practice but communion between Christ and His body that is as intimate as communion between a husband and a wife. And for the church, corporate prayer is not an optional ritual but a commanded expectation. However, having an effective corporate experience of prayer-whether in a large congregational setting or a small group-depends on many factors. John Franklin highlights not only the theology behind powerful corporate prayer times but also the effective habits and practices of a praying church. Know why God especially requires corporate prayer.

What others are saying:

"It has well been said that prayer can do anything that God can do. I am 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. I am happy to commend it."

"I know of no one better than this author to speak to the subject of prayer. He not only is capable of writing on this ministry, but he has been very effective in leading our prayer ministry here at Woodstock’s First Baptist Church. You will be challenged and instructed in this excellent book."
Johnny Hunt, Pastor

"I cannot imagine a more timely and urgently needed resource. This tool has a wonderful balance of biblical principle and practical application. Best of all, it is God-focused and brings churches to the Savior, not just a program format. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to every leader with any responsibility for guiding prayer!"

Simple! Effective! And biblical! John's step by step approach and Scriptural basis for prayer is not only easy to follow, but inspiring for those who wish to implement biblcial models of prayer into their lives and ministry. John's work is consistently good and helps Christians improve their prayer life which improves every other area of life. I recommend it to everyone, especially pastors and church planters looking for a boost in their prayer ministries.
