I just finished this book and I have to say it was awesome! Definitely worth the read and keeps you hanging on. Here are some quotes from "Red Moon Rising" by Pete Greig.
God is not a mindless dispenser of demolition techniques; He is looking for relationship with those who dare to trust him against all odds.
"Everyone prays," he pointed out. "Even non-Christians pray. The difference when Christians do it is that they are climbing into the lap of there heavenly father."
God wants to take us on a progressive adventure in prayer, moving from monochrome spirituality to full color surround sound interactive! This may mean learning to open our eyes to pray instead of shutting them. It may mean noise as well as silence and harmony. It may mean movement as well as stillness.
....and was met with a great deal of apathy from the other young theologians at the college who were apparently more interested in talking about God than talking to Him.
He longs that we would vacate our buildings from time to time, that we would turn our temples into tabernacles, that we would become like Him, the friend of sinners. We are the light of the world, but no one wants to stare at the bulb. We are the salt of the earth, but a whole plate of the stuff will make you sick. The people of God are called to scatter and mix, to mingle and move, to influence from a position of weakness, like a small child in a large family, like yeast in a loaf, like a mustard seed beneath a pavement.
