#Pray4 Principle

On the 17th of March 2012 - in an FA Cup tie between Tottenham Hotspur and Bolton Wanderers - Fabrice Muamba suffered a massive cardiac arrest. Muamba's heart stopped for 78 minutes before paramedics managed to revive him, and he spent days in hospital fighting for life. Around the country there were countless messages of support from family, fans and players alike encouraging everyone to pray for him as events struck a spiritual chord. In 'The Muamba Principle', Alexander Lee uses this incident as a starting point for exploring what it is that draws us to prayer in these secular times.
