24-7 Titles Latest Release:Phil Anderson - 27 Apr 2007
Count Nikolaus von Zinzendorf was one of the most influential and controversial spiritual leaders in modern history. For us in 24-7 he holds a special place as a spiritual ‘godfather’ of the movement and the original pioneer of continuous prayer. In spite of this, there has been no serious effort to re-tell his story in nearly 50 years.
The 18th century Moravian renewal which Zinzendorf led were pioneers of prayer, mission, unity, and community. From the tiny village of Herrnhut in the far east of Germany they prayed without ceasing for a hundred years, they established radical and challenging models of discipleship and relationship, and they launched the first great missions thrust of the reformation. These often flawed but always faithful men and women have shaped the world in which we live, and were the example which many who came after them would follow.
In 2004, Phil Anderson and Justin Blake climbed into a tiny 4-seat aeroplane and set off across Europe for Herrnhut, on a remarkable journey to uncover the history of Zinzendorf and the movement which he led. This book is Zinzendorf’s story, told through the eyes of a pair of twenty-first century pilgrims seeking to rediscover it afresh. Part biography and part road-trip, it brings the history into vibrant life, while raising deeply prophetic challenges about life and faith today.
Here’s what readers and reviewers are saying about 24-7 Prayer’s critically acclaimed new biography of Count Zinzendorf:
“Well written and fast paced… reads more like a novel than a historical biography.” [Joy Magazine, UK]
“…this book will set your heart ablaze. Important? certainly. Exciting? off the scale!” [Amazon review]
“...so moving and inspiring… question is, what to do now!” [Reader, Brazil]
We’re pleased to announce that the US/Canada edition has just been published by Regal, which means that the book is now widely available in North America as well as in the UK.
This book is a must-read for anyone who recognises the inspiration and challenge that Zinzendorf and those who share his calling represent.
