A beautiful book by Mary McCormack Burton that shares the birth of the John 10:10 Prayer Ministry from a simple parish in Boston to have an international impact. In the “unfolding” of this ministry God’s steady hand is present and visible, bearing fruit not only in answered prayers but in the inspiring story of how it came to be.

“I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” - John 10:10
