PRAISE FOR RADICAL PRAYER
In Radical Prayer, Manny Mill engages us with the idea of a catalytic prayer life that can best be described as radical! Why? Simply stated, todays complacency is tomorrows captivity. Accordingly, todays troubled times require replacing religious and comfortable Christianity with a faith narrative infused by a prayer life that connects heaven to earth. Such a prayer life will ignite a radical faith, founded on radical love, and compelled by radical truth that at the end of day will emerge as nothing less than radically beautiful.

Several years ago Chuck Colson insisted that I had to meet Manny and Barbara Mill. As soon as I did, I understood his urgency. Manny and Barbara are people who are regularly, thoughtfully, and wholeheartedly in the presence of Jesus through prayer, and it shows. This worthwhile book reveals to readers how they developed this joyous discipline, and how it has built a passionate heart in them that beats for their Savior and those He came to save.
