Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf is undoubtedly one of the most influential and controversial spiritual leaders in Western history.

The 18th century Moravian renewal which he 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 1999, Zinzendorf and the Moravians became the accidental inspiration for the birth of a remarkable, international movement known as 24-7 prayer. Five years later, 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.

The UK edition has just been released (as of 3rd November 2006). If you are in the USA then officially you will have to wait until March 2007 for it to hit the shops. However, if you drop the nice people at the 24-7 UK shop a line, they may be able to sort you out ;o)
