1. The Marketplace Movement: Book Titles as a Window, by Pete Hammond
This overview is a way to look at the development of the 20th Century¡¦s ¡§Marketplace Movement.¡¨ This glance at a modern movement of God looks at descriptive book titles that have been published over the last seventy-plus years. It provides a way to see the development of major concepts and concerns in this renewal of everyday-faith. In this survey we can also see the issues that are being explored, or rediscovered. It also notes some of the key leaders who have made their contribution as authors. I have selected these from my collection of over 2,000 volumes on various dimensions of this renewal of the western church. Many books not listed here are very important works that make major contributions. Click to request a copy of the article. It will be sent to you electronically.
Global Day of Prayer Made History May 15
It started with a vision from a businessman from Cape Town, South Africa in July of 2000. May 15 marked largest simultaneous prayer gathering in Christendom. More than 175 nations participanted with more than 200 milliion people praying on that day. More than 125 locations in America had some form of venue participating in the Global Day of Prayer. Atlanta, Georgia, my home town, held an event downtown at the Philips Arena. The idea of hosting event didn't even begin until February 15. Check out related sites. Global Day of Prayer.
