Review
"Red Moon Rising is provocative, prophetic and powerful!" -- Mike Bickle, Founder of International House of Prayer, Kansas City, September 2003

Product Description
An extraordinary story about the adventure of faith and the power of persevering prayer…

On a summer’s day in 1727 a community of Moravians started praying and didn’t stop for more than 100 years. Throughout history God has mobilised such movements and moments of 24/7 prayer – from the Upper Room of Pentecost to Azusa Street in Los Angeles, through ancient Celtic saints and extraordinary characters like Alexander the Sleepless.

This is the story of a movement of the Spirit in our time, a move as ancient as it is modern.

As young people desert the church and AIDS orphans Africa, a new generation is learning to pray and obey like never before. From Communist China to Washington DC and from the ranks of the Salvation Army to anarchic German punks, the 24-7 Prayer movement has been interceding continually, night and day, since 1999 in more than fifty countries. This is their extraordinary story; an honest account of pain and perseverance alongside pioneering mission and miraculous answers to prayer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reminded, February 20, 2005

By	Sheena Littlehale (Portland, Oregon USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is not just a book about cool things Christians are up to. It's a reminder of what happens if we let ourselves hear God's heartbeat and allow ourselves to be consumed by His agenda.

Reading this book made me feel more connected to my dreams than ever before as I read about things I've seen in my heart for years, but wondered if I would ever see with my eyes. It reminded me to continue to dream, and to be confident that as I persue God's heart I will hold those dreams in my hands as reality. It reminded me that I'm not alone, that I'm in one tiny part of the big picture of God being revealed throughout the earth. Everyone should read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Life Changer, March 16, 2004

By	"scomom55" (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews

I had been somewhat familiar with 24-7 Prayer for several months from reading articles by Pete Greig in Relevant Magazine, and when I read that Red Moon Rising was coming out in November, I pre-ordered it. After about the 4th chapter I went online and ordered a case of them to give away. The reactions of other friends I've given it to have been the same.

I've read this book 2 times (the only reason I haven't read it more is because I keep loaning it to people) and each time I get more and more stirred up...by what God is doing around the world and in the church as He stirs the heart of this generation to pray.

The comments I most hear from people who've read it have to do with the sense of freedom that people feel in this thing as well as a sense of unity & interconnectedness within the church. It's not about just one church gathering it's people together to pray for their particular needs (although that has value, too), it's more about the church, globally, connecting...regardless of denomination, doctrine, etc. and supporting one another as they reach out to their communities.

It also speaks to the cry of this generation to touch a hurting and lost world...not standing on the street corner passing out tracts, but in real ways...feeding the hungry, helping the poor, sitting with & praying for the drug addict that's just overdosed, etc.

If you have a heart to see God move in this generation, read this book and you'll be convinced He can do it through you.
