Paul Tautges has produced this excellent resource for instructing and inspiring effectual prayer. I highly recommend this book, not to be read, but read and implemented. It will be transforming!

Another book on prayer? Yes! When it is this biblically sound and practically helpful. Paul Tautges has done a tremendous service to both pastors and church members with this little gem of a book. Pastors, you hold in your hands a local church blueprint to lead your church to a fresh focus of both corporate and private prayer. Like all his writings, Tautges is a careful expositor of Scripture and guides us through it like a loving pastor longing for us to meet with God and trust him more. I highly recommended this book!
—Brian Croft, Senior Pastor, Auburndale Baptist Church, Louisville KY
Paul Tautges has produced yet another small, usable handbook to assist busy pastors in a critical aspect of ministrythe cultivation of a congregational sense of God-dependency expressed through prayer. After underscoring the biblical emphasis on ordinary believers being in constant prayer, Tautges presents seven informative, stimulating prayer meeting messages, ranging from praying in Jesus name to praying for unbelievers and government leaders. The heart of the book is then buttressed with several helpful appendices, providing practical ideas to ministers for stirring up prayer in their local church. The idea of beginning each year with nine days of emphasis on prayer (including four sermons on prayer), in which each family lists reasons for praise and requests for prayer, so that the entire flock learns to pray informatively for each other as a church family, is just one of several exciting possibilities. Use Pray About Everything as a springboard to cultivate your own ideas on how you as a pastor or church leader can cultivate prayer in your church in our day of widespread prayerlessness and spiritual amnesia.
