Compelled by the belief that a large number of Christians
want to come to God with others’ needs, John Pritchard has
created this follow-up to The Intercessions Handbook and
The Second Intercessions Handbook. In his accessible, gentle
style he offers ‘starter’ ideas and introductory material to
help those who lead intercessions in public worship and small
groups, and aims to open the reader’s imagination to enrich
their own style of praying.
Everyday language, images and experiences are used in each
of the three main sections. The first, looking at intercessions
in mainstream worship, offers prayers:
1. for each of the 12 months
2. for major festivals and their seasons
3. for special days, like Mother’s Day and Remembrance Day
4. on themes such as light, storms and fear.
The second section provides intercessions for use in informal
worship and small groups, and the third focuses on personal
intercessions (including a section for extroverts).
