The Real Justin Chandler read The Vision & The Vow by Pete Greig. Again...

Few books have had an impact on me like The Vision and the Vow have. This serves as a follow-up to Red Moon Rising also written by Pete Greig. If you notice a theme, I have a thing for books written by Pete Greig (check them out here). If he's written it, I've read. And it all began with this thing called "The Vision."

It seems that once a year, God reminds me of The Vision and is pressing me towards it. In so many ways, it says what following Christ is like. The Vision is Jesus. Obsessively. Undeniably Jesus. And vision comes through prayer.

Continual prayer has often been a myth in the Church. Most people think it sounds good. Feels good. But impossible. As Greig outlines, without commitment, everything is possible. However, if you commit to a lifestyle and discipline yourself to a regiment, you will create opportunities like you have never had. Though this book wasn't the catalyst, it did serve as a boost to what I had committed to earlier this year. It was refreshing to know again that I wasn't the only one trekking away and find practical encouragement to continue on.

The one thing you need to know. Continual prayer has gone on for ages. Has happened since the beginning of the church . Has changed history through otherwise normal people. If you are thinking that this could be you, check this book out. It will serve you well. Guaranteed.
