The Embrace explores the inward worship practices of prayer and contemplation and the outward acts of worship found in service and ministry, including: • How beloved prayers such as the Lord's Prayer have become an essential part of our ongoing dialogue with God. • Why public and private prayer is essential to Christian worship. • How the Church throughout the centuries has carried its message to the world through missions and caring for the poor, imprisoned, sick, and dying. • How a ministry called Broken Chains reaches out to the biker subculture with the Gospel message.
