Prayers from the Pews: The Power of Praying for Your Church
What if the problem with the church isn’t what we are doing but rather what we are not doing?
In Prayers from the Pews, Teri Lynne Underwood explores the connection between embracing Scripture, evaluating personal experience, and experiencing the power in praying for your church. Acknowledging the difficulties and short-comings of the “institution of church” while challenging believers to invest in the study of the early church and harness the power of prayer, Teri Lynne brings a voice of hope to the often-hopeless landscape of the modern church experience.
Prayers from the Pews is ideal for individuals seeking guidance in praying for their churches as well as small groups who want to experience the power of prayer in their own congregation. More than another study of prayer, Prayers from the Pews is an invitation to pray.

Well Written
I spent quite some time reading through this; not because it’s so lengthy or difficult, but because I wanted to ponder over and consider so much of what is said. Nothing here is new, but having a reminder in such a well written manner allows thoughtful introspection and encourages conversation with others.

The book started out with several chapters that contained the value of prayer, why we gather as our church and where our focus should be. She outlined the need for our lives to be about prayer, the Word and our relationship with God and fellow believers using scripture and quotes. I found those to be thought provoking and insightful.
Later on in the book as she moved into specific areas to pray, she listed the area and then an actual prayer to pray. I did like the areas suggested but found that repeating someone else's prayer was not for me. This is just my own opinion. For many this probably is beneficial if they struggle with how to pray for that area.
At the end she gives various questions about the things through out the book for the reader to take time to reflect, and allow what was read to stay with them. This was good.
Overall a good book. I've given it the rating I did simply because I was wanting something with more depth.
