Talit ha Cumi: The Secrets of the Prayer Shawl

With a growing number of Christians beginning to wear the traditional Jewish tallit, Bishop John Francis offers much-needed background on the significance of the cloth. In this short and right-to-the-point book, he shares the teaching he received that changed his prayer life.

Key scriptures are presented that will link the prayer shawl, or the tallit, with the power of God. Readers will discover its sacredness, role in prayer, symbolism, and application.

Bishop John Francis is the founder and senior pastor of Ruach Ministries (Brixton, South London), one of the largest and fastest growing churches in the UK, with over five thousand in weekly attendance. He was a recipient of the British Gospel Association’s (BGA) Awards for Contribution to Gospel Music and Gospel TV Series of the Year (as co-presenter of the UK’s Gospel TV program, People Get Ready!).
