Onwuchekwa also serves as the pastor of Cornerstone Church in Atlanta, Georgia. Just as our private prayer lives can be improved by God’s grace, so too can our corporate prayer lives.”Īvailable in both hardcover and ebook formats, Prayer has received commendations from Mark Dever (pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church), Thabiti Anyabwile (pastor of Anacostia River Church), Trillia Newbell (author of Enjoy and Fear and Faith), and many others. “In a sentence, that’s the goal of this book: learning how to pray better and more as churches.

“We-by which I mean we as Christians and church members together-should pray bigger and better and more biblical prayers,” writes Onwuchekwa. He examines Scripture’s teaching on prayer, the early church’s example of prayer, and practical advice for individuals and churches looking to prioritize prayer. In Prayer, part of the 9Marks: Building Healthy Churches series, Onwuchekwa emphasizes corporate prayer in the local church-not just as a tool in times of major crisis, but in all aspects of church life.

The books selected are written and applied from a gospel-centered perspective, exemplify faithfulness to Scripture, encourage discernment in contemporary issues, and build up the church locally and globally.
