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.

The Vision And The Vow is a joy and a challenge to read,
By
This review is from: The Vision and the Vow: A Call to Discipleship (Paperback)
In reading The Vision and the Vow by Pete Greig, you are taken beyound comfortable boundaries, beyond the "easy-does-it Christianity" that the modern church has gotten drunk on. Pete Greig challenges those who claim Christ as Savior to also embrace him as Lord. We cannot divorce the two, and therefore we must submit to His authority with our whole lives. Greig takes us through his vision of where the Church is headed, and how Christians needs to rise above mediocrity and start becoming revolutionary.
We are to be disciples, not converts. Greig points out that all to often Christians are letting themselves become complacent in their faith instead of being whole-life disciples. It is not an easy call to be a disciple of Christ, but it is a worthy one.

Depth, Honesty and Practical Life Application,
By Kim (Tampa, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Vision and the Vow: A Call to Discipleship (Paperback)
I just can't explain how this book has impacted me over the last month. I've read a chapter a night as my devotional time. Pete Greig is an amazingly honest and moving writer. His writing flow meets wonderfully with my thought process. I was convicted, challenged and called to meet the expectations God has in store for our generation. I hope you are ready for a wild ride that will get you thinking inwardly - to your heart and mindset - and outwardly - to show kindness to the world through living out Christ.
Thank God Pete followed God's moving to write this book.

a review of vision and the vow by matt gregor from cardiff,

This review is from: The Vision and the Vow: A Call to Discipleship (Paperback)
The vision and the vow - pete greig
Not being someone who's been into the whole 24-7 thing massively I haven't read any of pete grieg's stuff before. I've been amazed and impacted by some of the truths of coming back to a life of sacrifice and love for God. The book is not a natural contender for a recommendation on the ignite web site because towards the end it suggests you think about taking a vow of commitment to love Jesus, be kind to others and spread the gospel in other nations. It's not miles away from our own ignite declaration we encourage you to take but in all honesty we're into building God's kingdom and want to recommend this one to you because we believe it may inspire you. The book has roughly five sections, firstly a fabulous chapter about Jesus that I've loved and that the vision, from the 247 stuff is actually Jesus and then some of how that works out in real life for us people living in the 21st century. The Vision in these pages connected somewhere in my heart with a desire that longs to live "dangerously, obsessively and undeniably" for Jesus. My favourite part of the book is called "summon the losers", identifying that no one is too bad, broken or boring to be used by God. I've used it as a great framework for some talks I've been doing in Christian unions across Cardiff. Those chapters, and in fact the whole book is packed with great stories and illustrations about us growing up into maturity with our relationship with God, a call to discipleship and some of the "how to" help that is most valuable.
