A House of Prayer

A House of Prayer is about the movement from isolation to serenity by means of praying together, spiritually or physically. Steagald believes that praying together allows the church to become "one," as Jesus intended, and the "body" the apostle Paul described. Using memoir, travelogue, reflection on scripture, church history, and psychology, Steagald builds a compelling case for congregations to put more focus on praying as a community.
