The Ministry of Intercession: A Plea for More Prayer

"The Ministry of Intercession: A Plea for More Prayer" by Andrew Murray is a late 1800s masterpiece emphasizing how crucial prayer is for Christians and their churches. Murray noticed a slump in sincere prayer during his time, setting the stage for this work. Murray urges Christians to see prayer—specifically talking to God for others—as a potent way to get God's help and good things for themselves and those around them. Murray hopes to kickstart a prayer comeback, seeing it as key to growing spiritually and doing more good. The book begins with observations from church gatherings where many agreed their prayer lives needed work, showing his strong wish to bring the Church back to prayer as a powerful tool for doing God's will.
