Item Description...
Fleeing the compromises of the 4th century church, the Desert Fathers founded monasticism. In reaction to a Christianity they scarcely recognized, these radicals fled to the Egyptian desert to model a different, radical style of discipleship, filled with sacrifice and continual prayer. Who are the new monks, the new punks, the new revolutionaries? The answer lies in an upsurge of 24-7 monastic communities around the world. Punk Monk combines a narrative journey through the beginnings of 24-7 Prayer Boiler Rooms with a discussion on the roots of monasticism, particularly its ethos and values, and how it can be applied in the third millennium. Drawing influences from the Franciscans, the Celts and the Moravians, the book highlights the counter-cultural and revolutionary force of monasticism and asks whether it is time for a new monastic movement. It also takes punk as a contemporary expression of monastic spirit and asks whether a "silent revolution" is coming.

| This "idea" is what I have been looking for and didn't even know it. This is going to change my life forever. This is changing my walk with God. This is a must read. | | | | Must-read for world changers Aug 31, 2007 |
Like most of us, I have shelves groaning with books purporting to give me this tip or that key to making my church larger and healthier. A small percentage of those books recommend intense (e.g., 24-7) prayer. Of those, I believe Punk Monk to be the best.
In this book, British authors Andy Freeman and Pete Greig describe how God led them to establish a Christian community based on regular prayer. (That's the "breathing" part.) This group has grown to a worldwide network of "boiler rooms." (Visit http://www.boiler-rooms.com/ for a list of these communities.)
This book is a must-read for everyone who believes (along with John Wesley) that "God does nothing except in answer to prayer". If you want to see God change your church, and your world, read Punk Monk!
Yours aye in Christ,
