'25 SUMMER READING LIST, #16 - "PRAY AND GO" BY THOM RAINER

I first read "Pray & Go, a 30-Day Journey: Your Invitation to Become a Great Commission Christian" by Thom Rainer in late '23. I read it again mid-'24. It may not be on my '25 list, but if not, it will be in '26. I found this a powerful challenge and want to keep this reminder before me.

Rainer gives a short lesson for 30 installments, followed by an assignment. It may be to read a Scripture, pray specifically, or to be a witness. It's designed to be either for an individual or for a church group; either way, the goal is to mobilize the Church.

One assignment that impacted me was on his first chapter about praying for your pastor, and he mentioned praying for the pastor's sermon preparation. I've been doing that ever since.

BOOK REVIEW - PRAY & GO: YOUR INVITATION TO BE A GREAT COMISSION CHRISTIAN (CHURCH ANSWERS RESCOURCES) BY THOM RAINER

Does the concept of witnessing terrify you? Do you want to help evangelize the world, but don't know how to start? Would you be encouraged with a, let's say, month long plan broken up into small and simple projects?

Pray & Go: Your Invitation to Become a Great Commission Christian by Thom Rainer is "A 30-Day Journey" to encourage Christians - either individually or as a study group - to become equipped to start witnessing for Christ. 

Each day is about 6 pages dealing with the subject of the day. There is a specific project for the day which is manageable to do with a busy schedule. As the title hints at, a lot of those projects are simply praying for you, your pastor, unsaved  people, and your church, while others will encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and speak about your faith.

Most books I read once. There's only a handful that I would read over and over again. This is the newest item in the group.
