With a major resurgence of the liturgical movement, consumers are more interested in historic Christianity than ever before. Dangerous Prayers pairs inspirational content with modern art in a way that inspires readers. There will be a strong emphasis on diversity with the gender, race, and historical context of the individuals, including people such as St. Francis of Assisi, Harriet Tubman, Corrie ten Boom, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and many more.

Each prayer will include an artist rendering of the individual, a short background on the context of the individual and the cultural moment, and the text of the prayer itself. Covering a wide range of people from different historical contexts, the entries in Dangerous Prayers will vary in length and nature but will be entirely inspiring. Each entry will also invite readers to apply elements of each character's faith in their own lives.

Excerpts from some of these dangerous prayers could include:

"Father, make of me a crisis man. Bring those I contact to decision. Let me not be a milepost on a single road; make me a fork, that men must turn one way or another on facing Christ in me." Jim Elliot, martyred missionary to the Auca Indians.

"Lord, I'm going to hold steady onto you and you've got to see me through." Harriet Tubman, famous escaped slave and conductor on the Underground Railroad
