Lead with Prayer: The Spiritual Habits of World-Changing Leaders

Discover the prayer practice of ministry leaders-and transform your life and your leadership.

Even the most experienced leaders seek outside help-they pray. Looking for help in their own leadership, entrepreneur Ryan Skoog, CEO Peter Greer, and executive advisor Cameron Doolittle set out to investigate how established leaders pray.

In this book, the authors share the spiritual habits, techniques, and practices of world-changing leaders. In addition, they include prayers for leaders to use in their own prayer time as well as tools for how to cultivate a personal and organizational commitment to prayer.

By allowing these men and women to lead us in prayer, we learn not only how to pray, but how to build a culture of prayer wherever we lead. It is only when our businesses, ministries, and churches pray that they will be transformed.
