Red Moon Rising: How 24-7 Prayer
is Awakening a Generation
by Pete Greig and Dave Roberts
Even with the world getting
darker, a new generation is
learning to pray and obey like
never before. This is
their extraordinary story, an
honest account of pain and
perseverance alongside a
pioneering mission and
miraculous answers to prayer.
It's the story of the 24-7
prayer movement that started in
England in 1999 and has since
exploded to more than 50
countries! An army of
normal individuals are now
simultaneously praying night and
day around the world.
Things will never be the same.

devoted to the Salvation Army!)
So I Go Now
by Jeff Jacobson
"I see him riding
in on a Harley, the Jesus of my
day. His hair is long and wild
from the wind and it looks like
he's been on the road for
awhile. But his eyes are still
bright, and he smiles when he
sees me. I guess he travels
light because his saddlebags are
mostly empty..."
Take a ride with a man who is
forced to discover what a modern
day Jesus would do; where he
would go and what he would wear.
Would he have tattoos, and if
so, how many? What type of
people would he hang with, and
what might cause a scandal if he
were doing it right here and
now?
Experience a journey on the back
of a Harley - a ride where faith
and fiction collide with the
non-fiction that sustains it;
where imagination becomes
wonder, and wonder itself leads
to action.

The
Vision and the Vow
by Pete Grieg
In the
early 18th century, a Christian
named Count Zinzendorf formed a
secret society called the
Honorable Order of the Grain of
Mustard. Members wore a ring
inscribed with the words "No man
liveth unto himself" and took a
solemn vow to be true to Christ,
to be kind to people and to take
the Gospel to the nations.
Zinzendorf’s vow to live
unselfishly is as challenging
today as ever. Through these
principles, Pete Greig offers a
"rule of life" for a generation
looking for guidance through a
chaotic culture. Included is a
40-day devotional to dig deeper
into biblical principles, plus a
full-color bonus section
featuring a visual
interpretation of "The Vision,"
a prayerful manifesto written by
Greig that’s become a rallying
cry of a generation.
Wrestling With God
by Rick Diamond
You're hungry to know God, you
want to encounter Him. You
can feel it in your bones that
there's more to life, but
everywhere you've looked to fill
the void you feel has left you
empty still: Culture. Career.
Things. Even Church. Your
soul's stomach continues to
growl. This book will
satisfy that hunger. It is
raw. It's about getting
outside the confines of
dogmatic religion and
encountering something real.
It is a guidebook into the rich
journey of surrender and
exploration that can lead to a
deep trust in a radically loving
but never taming God.
Warning: This book will mess you
up. But that's a good
thing. The end of religion
is the beginning of a
relationship.

Blue Like Jazz is a fresh and
original perspective on life,
