Hosted by Maxie Dunnam, this six-week study is intended to be used in a small group setting. It is an individual journey but Dunnam recommends sharing in a weekly small group. The workbook is arranged in six divisions, each to guide you for one week. These six divisions contain seven sections, one for each day of the week. Group meeting instructions appear at the end of each week's journey.

Like each "Open Hearts" commercial for The United Methodist Church, The Prayer carries a unique biblical, emotional and strategic expression. Designed to appeal to thoughtful, intentional spiritual "seekers" who are ages 25-54, each theme is also relevant to the local church.
It's easy to share a community message with a compelling emotional theme that's relevant to both seekers and your members. Once you've chosen the "prayer" theme, this Expression Package will help you explore its unique biblical foundation and strategically implement the advertising.
This DVD-ROM includes these resources:
o "Prayer" television spot
o SpiritFilms video for use in worship and small groups
o Video clips to help your congregation understand "Prayer" and welcome newcomers with the spirit and theology of this message
o Video view book of the advertising materials in the package
o DVD-only Bonus: includes all CD-ROM materials (theological summary, adverting files, etc.)

In this six-week study, Jim Cymbala, pastor of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, shows viewers truths about how God has used that church's prayers to grow it from a tiny, struggling inner-city congregation into a vital, thriving community of believers who pray with passion, focus and faith. Each weekly DVD segment includes a powerful and inspiring prayer story of an ordinary person who received extraordinary answers to prayer.
The six sessions are:
1. God's Heart for Us;
2. The Amazing Power of Prayer;
3. Obedience in Prayer;
4. The Word of God and Prayer;
5. Why Prayer Matters;
6. Creating a Prayer Ministry in Your Church.
