From the Upper Room of Pentecost to Azusa Street in Los Angeles; God has used prayer movements throughout history to change the world. Over fifteen years ago; a group of students gathered for a prayer vigil in Chichester; England—and the prayers they started haven’t stopped. Out of that first meeting came 24-7 Prayer: an international movement of prayer; mission; and justice that has reached Chinese underground churches; Indian slums; Papua New Guinea jungles; ancient English cathedrals; and even a brewery in Missouri.Red Moon Rising is the story of how that movement continues today—and how each of us can be a part of the miracles God is doing through a new generation.

Review
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The Bengali goddess ChandiBy Ralph W. NicholasFor the first time this work; the foremost example of Middle Period Bengali literature; has been made available in English. The translation is elegant; it will be clear to those who know little about India but are interested in epic poetry. At the same time; it documents details about the social history of Bengal in the sixteenth century. The goddess Chandi is preeminent in the religion of Bengali Hindus. Every autumn; she is worshiped as the goddess Durga in hundreds of places throughout West Bengal and among Hindus in Bangladesh. There are two distinct narratives in the Chandlmangal; quite different from one another; and each exciting. The reader must imagine him or herself sitting in the evening in a Bengal village listening to these tales unfold; enacted by skillful performers before a rapt audience of largely illiterate rural people for whom the oral tradition is the only tradition.
