City CHanging Prayer: Frank and Debra Green
The little tag line that goes with this book really does sum it up well. It simply says “Insights From Manchester’s Impacting City Wide Prayer Movement”. And that is essentially what the book is. Its not a manual telling you three easy steps to bring revival to your City, but it does tell you (in a very accessible and down to earth style) what has happened in Manchester in the last ten years. The principles of united prayer are there, but you need to dig them out rather than reading a simple checklist.
There are names that you will recognize, places that are familiar and a story which you may have seen little snippets of if you have read Youthwork over the last few years.
I enjoyed reading Frank and Debra’s story. But do accept it for what it is- there are no “how to”’s until you reach page 157 (out of 214 pages!). If stories inspire you, then read on. Frank and Debra articulate the journey in prayer if one city in a wonderful way. And as you read it you just know that the story isn’t finished!
