Experienced leaders will tell you that you can’t lead on your own. The
pressure, the impossible decisions, the high risks, the temptations,
the people, the overwhelming schedule—it’s too much. Some leaders seek
outside help. They pray.
Looking for help in their own leadership, entrepreneur Ryan Skoog, CEO
Peter Greer, and executive advisor Cameron Doolittle set out to
investigate how leaders pray. What do they say to God? How often do
they pray, and for how long? Where do they pray? And how on earth do
they make time for prayer?
Skoog, Greer, and Doolittle spent three years researching. They logged
over one hundred hours of interviews with leaders in six continents who
collectively serve in over one hundred countries. They researched or
spoke with global entrepreneurs and business executives of Fortune 500
companies, as well as some of the most influential pastors and ministry
leaders in the world—leaders such as:
• Joni Eareckson Tada
• Philip Yancey
• Francis Chan
• John Mark Comer
• Christine Caine
• David Green
• Mark Batterson
• Among countless others

practices of these world-changing leaders, revealing specific details
