John 17 is Jesus’ prayer for His church, and in The Church Jesus Prayed For: A Personal Journey into John 17 (Monarch Books), Michael Cassidy offers a powerful exposition of this biblical text—one that was 13 years in the making. Cassidy poses the question to us: How did the reality of today’s church come to stand in such contrast to Jesus’ vision for that church? This book could spark many an outstanding sermon series on John 17.
