I am reading a book that is turning my life upside down, literally—and I’m only 50 pages into it! It is called “Red Moon Rising” and there is a whole bunch of information about it below. This book has made me realize how tired my faith has become, how shallow my prayer life really is, and how I limit what the Holy Spirit can do in my life, my church, and the world. It is call to let God be God on a much bigger scale than we usually do. I recommend this book to anyone who loves God and wants to love Him more. Be careful, though. Your paradigms will be shifted, you will feel convicted, and the Holy Spirit may just call you out of your very safe comfort zones. But I guarantee, it will be worth it!

Book Description:
An Army is Emerging
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, which started in 1999 in England and has since exploded to more than fifty countries. An army of normal individuals are now simultaneously praying night and day around the world. Things will never be the same (from the Relevant website).

Book 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 mobilized 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.
From the Author
Red Moon Rising is about the adventure of faith and the power of persevering prayer. It’s about what can happen when ordinary people dare to dream extraordinary dreams, responding recklessly to the whispered invitations of God. Our prayer is that readers will be inspired to say ‘yes’ to the Holy Spirit whatever that means for them and however inadequate they may sometimes feel.
From the Inside Flap
"Red Moon Rising is not just a book; it's an invitation. I have accepted the invitation. I think you will too, once you listen to the Spirit as he speaks through these pages. I invite you to join Pete and myself and many others in giving our hearts to this one thing - to prepare for a great harvest that will usher in the return of Jesus." (From the Foreword by Floyd McClung)
