The Power of a City at Prayer: What Happens When Churches Unite for Renewal

Rating:
Summary: If It Can Happen in NYC -- It Can Happen Anywhere!
Review: Mac Pier has been on the cutting edge of the prayer movement in New York City (NYC) for over a decade. This book explores the work of God when people pray. You will learn the spiritual history of the greatest city in the world; the biblical role of cities in the plan of God; and a precise plan for developing a prayer strategy for your city. You will also be encouraged and inspired by the stories of the people and miracles surrounding the prayer movement in New York City.

Pier and Sweeting, who are with Concerts of Prayer of Greater New York..., share the four aspects of prayer for any city:

Prayer for Revival
Prayer for Reconciliation
Prayer for Renewal
Prayer for Reaching the Lost

I think it is interesting to read this book along with "Leadership" by Rudy Guiliani. Over the last decade there has been amazing positive change in the culture of NYC. While policy played a role in the decline of crime and violence, you can also clearly track the decrease to the increaase in the prayers of Christian people.

Highly recommended for anyone living in NYC or anyone who desires to see a prayer movement in their own city. If it can happen in New York City, it can happen anywhere!...
