For many Christians, prayer is an obligation that has little bearing on
everyday life. The story of the 24/7 prayer movement demonstrates in
gripping detail how prayer is far more than an obligation and how God is
far more interested in prayer than we are. Continuing to chronicle the
life and extraordinary ministry of the 24/7 prayer movement for a
readership anxiously awaiting this title, Pete Greig tells story after
story of God’s faithful interaction with human prayer to change lives
and cultures.

I must admit that I was skeptical of reviewing a book entitled Dirty
Glory, but from page one I was captivated by the many fascinating
personal stories, the extraordinary answers to prayer, the accounts of
historic prayer meetings, and Pete Greig’s amazing journey with God.
Reading about God’s redemptive work in response to the 24/7 prayer
movement challenged and summoned me to become a “walking,
talking prayer room, a carrier of his presence,” and a willing, worthy
field hand who falls on her knees digging in and cultivating the soil
in order to reap souls—thus the convicting and profound title,
Dirty Glory.

This is a story of the remarkable adventure of a group of people who
sought the presence of God and said yes to the Holy Spirit. Pete
Greig is a master storyteller, but don’t be fooled: These are more than
stories. They are a living theology because they are the result of a
lived theology. Pete lives out of the deep and joyful belief that God is
present in his world. This book will surely awaken your heart to love
the Father, to join Jesus in his prayer, and to follow the Spirit in his
wild and wonderful work. I know, because that is what Pete’s life and
friendship have done for me.
