Invite publishes people, not products.

Our goal is to create a better publishing experience. 

We emphasize partnership and collaboration, seek to help authors discover and develop their ministry message through the publishing process, and are committed to putting real resources into the successful marketing of both individual books and the long-term personal development of the author. 

 

 

You're a thought leader.

We are committed to collaborating with you to produce and/or distribute a variety of media to convey your message, including beautiful, well-written books, podcasts, video content, and more.

Our goal is to help you cultivate and grow your message. We envision an ecosystem of leading-edge thought leadership in which every Invite authors benefits from a virtuous cycle of mutual support and encouragement.

Dynamite Prayer (Paperback)

A 28 Day Experiment

There is a massive current of divine power — God’s resurrection power — that is active and alive in the world today. What if, through prayer, you could tap into the miraculous power of God’s Holy Spirit and unleash more than you could ask, think, or imagine into your life and world?


Dynamite Prayer is a daily prayer guide that will show you how to begin a practice of “breakthrough prayer,” a way of praying where we ask God to open new doors and reveal new possibilities, fueled by the Spirit’s power. This 28-day adventure will take you from feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and uninspired to curious and expectant as you surrender your own preferences and ideas and courageously follow the miracles God brings into your life.


Each day contains:
- A brief meditation on a verse from Scripture that will help you see how the Spirit’s
dynamic power has been at work throughout history and in your life today 
- Reflection questions for the day
- A short breakthrough prayer for the day
- A prayer word or phrase to help you make breakthrough prayer part of each
moment


Whether you do this with your church, your organization, or in your personal life, this simple-yet-powerful way of praying will increase your faith and transform your world as you invite fresh inspiration into every aspect of your life.
