The Vision And The Vow: A CALL TO DISCIPLESHIP

Information on The Vision And The Vow from the publisher:

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.

Description of Peter Greig, author of The Vision And The Vow:

Can the spiritual tide turn in youth culture? If a passionate new breed of Christian emerges, anything is possible. This book is centered around a specific spiritual manifesto, simply called "the vision," that arose from a 3 a.m. prayer session during a 24-hour-a-day week of prayer four years ago. Today, these words have sparked a revolutionary movement of continuous prayer in 46 countries. This provocative book not only tells the story of how those words have spread around the world like a spiritual virus reaching the underground church in China and The Call in Washington. It captures the heart of the 24-7prayer.com movement by unpacking the manifesto line by line. It contains essays surrounding the words of The Vision that will challenge and help readers discover afresh a faith that lives to follow Jesus. This book makes extensive use of metaphors from popular music and film, and quotes liberally the Bible, significant figures in church history, mainstream thinkers and contemporary Christian writers, such as Richard Foster, Billy Graham, Bonhoeffer, Jim Wallis, Brendan Manning, Dallas Willard and several others. It's unlike any other book. It will awake a generation.
