90 Days of Blessing This Summer
As a natural outflow of the Global Day of Prayer, we are calling Christians to demonstrate the love of Christ by blessing their surrounding communities through acts of kindness and service. This effort will demonstrate Christ's love as His followers touch their communities at their points of need.

There will be a special focus this summer on North Minneapolis. This blessing strategy will include prayer walking, evangelistic outreaches, building and restoration of homes, neighborhood clean-ups, etc.

This is a time for you to bring your skills and anointings to partner with others in blessing the cities. Bring others in your churches and networks to participate in this growing prayer movement. For information on the 90 Days of Blessing, go to www.globaldayofprayermn.com.

The Kneeling Christian, by An Unknown Christian
Prayer, though an essential part of Christian experience, remains mysterious to many believers. The Unknown Christian (written by an author who chose to remain anonymous) set about to familiarize Christians with the source of power available to them through prayer. This powerful, time-tested classic points the way toward communion with God and all the life-changing benefits that derive from it. To order The Kneeling Christian, click here.

Prayer Resource by R. A. Torrey
The Power of Prayer is the classic handbook on tapping the unlimited power of God. It discusses the freedom, peace, and security available through communication with God and answers common questions about prayer. Torrey’s writings clearly outline the positives of prayer, the prerequisites of prayer, the purpose of prayer, or the power of prayer. To order, click here.

Prayer Resource by Andrew Murray
Revival was written during a time in history known for its revivals. Andrew Murray writes on the true definition of revival, as well as both the costs and blessings of revival. He cautions the Church that one cannot pray for revival without serious heart-searching. God stands ready to revive His people, but is the Church ready to meet His conditions?

Power Through Prayer
by E. M. Bounds
This prayer resource has been called "one of the truly great masterpieces on the theme of prayer." The term classic can appropriately be applied to this outstanding book.

"What the Church needs today is not more machinery or better, not new organizations or more and novel methods, but men whom the Holy Ghost can use - men of prayer, men mighty in prayer. The Holy Ghost does not flow through methods, but through men. He does not come on machinery, but on men. He does not anoint plans, but men -- men of prayer." (E. M. Bounds)  For ordering information, click here.

Christ Is All!
Book by David Bryant
David believes the greatest need of the Church in America today is a "Christ-awakening" that embraces the full extent of Christ’s supremacy. This book contains three volumes of David's writing, including Christ and Supremacy, The Crisis of Supremacy, and A Campaign of Hope. Order from Proclaim Hope!

Holiness: The Heart God Purifies
By Nancy Leigh DeMoss.

Brokenness: The Heart God Revives
by Nancy Leigh DeMoss
There is only one pathway to holiness, one road to genuine revival, and that is the pathway of humility or brokenness. Brokenness is where true revival begins. In this compelling book, Nancy draws readers to a deeper understanding of biblical brokenness. Can be ordered from www.reviveourhearts.com.

The Power of Extraordinary Prayer, by Dr. Bob Bakke
Extraordinary prayer is something that few Christians understand, and therefore rarely practice. In telling the stories of history's awakenings and the believers behind them, this book will stir in your heart a vision for a similar revival. The lessons Dr. Bakke brings forth from biblical examples will reveal how such renewal can happen again today. There are a few copies still available; click here.

Heartcry! A Journal on Revival and Spiritual Awakening
This quarterly journal is provided to leaders who have expressed an interest in revival.

Published by Life Action Ministries.

The Fire of God's Presence: Powerful Lessons from the Hebrides Revival
The story of the Hebrides Revival is a powerful example of the revival that we so desperately need! Using the example of a pastor and elders who gathered for prayer in the Hebrides in 1949, this book shows the powerful results when people are obedient to 2 Chronicles 7:14. When leaders and all believers pray and repent, revival is promised to follow! You may order the book from Fusion Ministries.

Revival Fires, by Wesley Duewel
As a revival historian, Dr. Duewel recounts many of the historical facts of revivals in our nation and around the world. This book describes biblical patterns for revival and spiritual awakening, and uses stories to encourage more fervent prayer. To order, click here.
