SUMMARYCan 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 virusNreaching the underground church in China and The Call in WashingtonNit captures the heart of the 24-7 prayer.com movement by unpacking the manifesto line by line. It contains essays surrounding the words of The Vision that will challenge and and help readers discover afresh a faith that lives to follow Jesus. The 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.
