“With One Accord in One Place: The Role of Prayer in the Early Church” is a modern classic written by Dr. Armin Gesswein (1908-2001). This book challenges churches and pastors to make prayer foundational to their ministries. Drawing inspiration from the book of Acts, it explores the role of prayer in the early church and how, through prayer and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, this praying church changed the world forever. The early church, as Dr. Gesswein emphasizes, was essentially a prayer meeting, and understanding how prayer empowered it to transform the known world is a central theme of the book.
