Pray It Forward

About this book

What if the most important thing you could do right now - for your faith, your family, or your church - was the simplest? In Pray It Forward, Rob Hurkmans makes a compelling case that prayer is not a last resort. It is a first response. Drawing on five key passages of Scripture, this short, accessible book explores what the Bible actually says about the priority, power, pathway, promise, and purpose of prayer - and why it matters more than ever. Originally delivered as a sermon series during Lent 2021, these chapters were shaped in one of the most uncertain seasons many of us have lived through. The questions they wrestle with are timeless: Why pray when we could act? How do we pray when we don't know where to start? What does God actually promise when we do? And how do our prayers connect to something larger than ourselves? Written in a warm, pastoral, and refreshingly practical style, Pray It Forward is for anyone who knows prayer matters but struggles to make it real - whether you're new to faith, returning to it, or simply ready to go deeper. Each chapter closes with a prayer and five reflection questions, making this an ideal read for personal devotion or small group discussion.
