PRAYING THROUGH THE BIBLE

We believe the world would be a better place if more of us practiced a daily and rich prayer life.

Join us as we study the hundreds of prayers that are found in the Jewish and Christian scriptures. These prayers are rich and diverse, and full of possibilities to enrich our own prayers. We explore at the background, meaning, and application for each prayer.

We offer a mix of free and premium content through articles, books, book reviews, and more.
