Gods Footprint on the Land provides revelation and understanding from the Scripture, which then can be realized through informed prayer to heal the land.
Alistair Petrie provides an amazing journey through Scripture of theology of land with practical examples of healing of the land.
As a First Nations leader and minister from the Piikani/Blackfoot Nation, I can attest to the effects of the work of repentance of four major iniquities in Scripture that defile the land; they are broken covenants, the shedding of innocent blood, sexual immorality, witchcraft and idolatry. We have witnessed the Lord providing a template for other First Nations in healing the land. I wholeheartedly recommend the wide distribution and reading of this series by Alistair.

Land is important to the Lord. Having been taught the biblical principles outlined in this book by Dr Alistair Petrie and teaching the application of them in many nations in Africa, Asia and the Caucasus over the past fifteen years, I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
I have seen miracles of floods receding, rain returning to scorched land with crops flourishing, fatal accidents ceasing after black spots cleansed and land becoming extraordinarily fertile after repentance prayer. If we seek the revelation to apply the Lords blueprint to defiled land, this book which is wonderfully clear will assist us to bring healing to our nations.

I dont remember hearing a message about how important the land is to God and the connection between it and the move of God or lack thereof. But that was changed when I first heard Alistair Petrie teach on the subject using much Scripture and examples from today. Once you understand the spiritual history of the land to everyday life, you can begin to understand why certain things happen and how to minister to the issues of the land in order to free it for Gods blessing. I highly recommend Gods Footprint on the Land . You will find a treasure of information that will help you deal with many issues that you never realised were connected to the land.

God not only made the earth but created mankind from His dirt. Unfortunately many of us dont know whose dirt it is. The Bible clearly states that we are custodians of the land. I have spent most of my seventy-eight years with indigenous people in Australia and other nations. During this time I have seen a very deep relationship between indigenous people and the land where God has placed them. In this short but insightful book you will discover the redemptive keys that will help you become a more effective custodian of the land.
As Gods Footprint on the Land suggests, we need to grasp afresh that God intends us to be part of the restoration and healing of the land in order to bring it back to His original intention and purpose. He has placed us on His earth so that He could bless us through His land, however the land is sick, so God is unable to fully bless us as He intended.
Alistair expounds clearly from Scripture what actually makes the land sick, providing insightful, practical and proven processes in how it can be healed so that God can bless both the land and its people. I encourage you to take seriously the principles that Alistair has outlined and prayerfully learn how to apply them on the land where you are Gods custodian, wherever that might be.

About the Series
In spite of the challenges we face in this day and age, we are also witnessing a move of God on an unprecedented global scale. This book is the third in a series that will enable us to connect to this worldwide move of God as we address the whole subject of land man and God. In the overall series we will illustrate specific and targeted types of prayer from Scriptural as well as missional activity that will give us tools for breakthrough and change.
Over many decades of involvement in prayer and on-the-ground initiatives within the global arena, we have repeatedly found the main challenge to be frustration, despair and not knowing how to obtain breakthroughs in seemingly impossible situations.
You will discover in this series wisdom and insight into a number of thrilling forms of prayer strategy God has given to His church. These are strategies that underline the promise of Luke 1:37 that indeed, nothing is impossible with God!
