In a hurting world that needs praying for more than ever, Nick Fawcett provides a new collection of a hundred jargon-free prayers to meet that need.

Avoiding religious jargon and using instead, language that speaks to all, he provides an invaluable resource for those leading intercessions in public worship, so that they may pray meaningfully, thoughtfully and confidently.

Intercessions for a Hurting World doesn't simply remind us of matters we sometimes ignore or forget, it also brings home the reality of human need and prompts us into action.

As Nick says: '. . . we need to pray in the modern-day vernacular and, as far as possible, in words that speak to non-believers as much as believers. We need to include rather than exclude, to welcome in rather than shut out.'
