The Intercessions Resource Book

Description

Compelled by the belief that a large number of Christians want to come to God with others’ needs, John Pritchard has created this follow-up to The Intercessions Handbook and The Second Intercessions Handbook. In his accessible, gentle style he offers ‘starter’ ideas and introductory material to help those who lead intercessions in public worship and small groups, and aims to open the reader’s imagination to enrich their own style of praying. Everyday language, images and experiences are used in each of the three main sections. The first, looking at intercessions in mainstream worship, offers prayers: 1. for each of the 12 months 2. for major festivals and their seasons 3. for special days, like Mother’s Day and Remembrance Day 4. on themes such as light, storms and fear. The second section provides intercessions for use in informal worship and small groups, and the third focuses on personal intercessions (including a section for extroverts).
