Author Interview: Pete Greig

P

ete is a bestselling author, pastor and bewildered instigator of the 24-7 Prayer movement which has reached more than half the nations on earth. He is also the Senior Pastor of Emmaus Rd, Guildford, England, an Ambassador for the NGO Tearfund, and teaches at St Mellitus Theological College in London. For 7 years Pete served with the senior leadership team at HTB and Alpha International.

We're presenting here your new book, How to Hear God. When you wrote your previous book, How to Pray, did you have a follow up in mind?

No, I was kind of blown away by the way that the last book took off. I went to the Lord in prayer and He made it clear to me that I was to write on this particular theme which happened to work really well as a follow up to How To Pray! When I told the rest of the 24-7 team that this was what I was thinking of doing they all said 'Thank goodness! What took you so long?'. Really listening to God is the other side of the conversation when it comes to prayer.

You're one of the instigators of the 24/7 Prayer Movement. How did that come about and what moved you to help start this?

We started the first 24-7 Prayer Room way back in 1999. We weren't trying to start a movement at all. We just finally acknowledged that we were really bad at praying. And so we started praying round the clock to see what would happen. And then the prayer room began to multiply all around the world. And now today, all these years later, we're in well over half the nations on earth and we've been praying non-stop for more than 20 years.

In what way has your new book spoken to and challenged you?

This was the hardest book I've written so far. Nothing matters more than learning to hear God for ourselves and yet we've all been hurt by those claiming to have heard God's voice falsely, or confused when we try to hear God and got it wrong. The backbone of this book is the wonderful Emmaus Road story. This story is loaded with revelation for all of us. It's such an important topic.

Want to know more?

Read our full interview on our blog!

What's next in the pipeline?

In May we've got the Wildfires Festival at the Wiston Estate and I'm really excited about that. And also very busy with Lectio 365, our daily devotional, which is used by tens of thousands of people every day. It's an extraordinary privilege to be able to create this material that impacts so many lives. So there's plenty going on to keep me busy!

How to Hear God: A Simple Guide for Normal People

for 2022! « New

Nothing could possibly matter more than learning to discern the authentic voice of God, but few things in life are more susceptible to delusion, deception and downright abuse. Having addressed God's silence in God on Mute, and then How to Pray in his previous bestseller, Pete Greig is back to bring wisdom and guidance to one of the most pressing and perplexing aspects of universal Christian experience - How to Hear God. Exploring the story of Christ's playful, poignant conversation on the road to Emmaus, Pete draws deeply from the insights of a wide range of Christian traditions. He weaves together the evangelical emphasis upon hearing God in the Bible, and the charismatic commitment to hearing God in the prophetic, with the contemplative understanding of God's 'still, small voice' within.

Lent: Wednesday 2nd March - Thursday 14th April Embracing Justice

The Archbishop of Canterbury's Lent Book 2022

Isabelle Hamley In the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Lent Book for 2022, Isabelle Hamley invites us on an exhilarating journey through Scripture to discover how we, as churches, communities and individual Christians, can seek and practice justice even when enmeshed in such a fractured world. Full of practical encouragement, Embracing Justice brilliantly weaves together biblical texts, diverse voices, contemporary stories, and personal and group meditations to reveal liberating and imaginative ways in which we may grow in discipleship - and more fully reflect the justice, mercy and compassion of Christ in our lives.

Hope in Times of Fear: The Resurrection and the Meaning of Easter

Timothy Keller The resurrection of Jesus is at the heart of the Christian faith, bringing God's power - which will some day heal and renew the world - into our lives now. That power is here only partially, but substantially; and this gives Christians a realistic, but irrepressible, hope. It is a hope for change in our lives and in our society; a hope that changes Christians in every way, shaping every aspect of our lives. But it is only together with the cross that we see the particular way resurrection hope shapes us. Hope in Times of Fear unlocks the meaning of both the cross and Jesus' resurrection. Here the central message of the Christian faith is revealed - with unshakable belief, piercing insight and a profound message of hope for the world.

The Hour is Come: The Passion in Real Time

Andrew Nunn The Gospel accounts change when we come to the final days of Jesus’ life and for the first time we are given precise timings when things happen, ‘It was night’, ‘the next morning’, ‘it was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him’, ‘it was noon’, ‘it was three o’clock in the afternoon’. The Hour is Come enables readers to enter into the experience of Jesus, his disciples and all the other players in the Passion narrative by using ‘real time’ to immerse us in the story. Ideal for daily reading during Lent, Holy Week and Easter, it offers scripture reflections and prayers that trace the journey to and beyond the cross.

This presentation reveals a God so intimately involved with human life that the ticking clock becomes part of how we know Jesus.

Hope and the Nearness of God: The 2022 Lent Book

Teresa White In these days of pandemic, war and political turbulence, hope can seem to be in short supply. But hope is one of the theological virtues and it is far more profound than mere optimism. Today, pessimism and despair seem all too prevalent. What can we do about the poor and starving, about those who seem to be locked in interminable conflict and families weighed down by the consequences of breakdown? Sister Teresa White's book is an antidote to all this and it is written with beautiful simplicity and directness. She draws on inspiration from writers as diverse as Julian of Norwich and Karl Rahner, Elizabeth Barrett-Browning and Henri Nouwen, but throughout the book there is strong scriptural underpinning which the author uses to great effect.

Sally Welch In this year’s BRF Lent book Sally Welch explores two questions: What is the Easter story really about, and how do we share it? Through each week of Lent, a different aspect of the Easter story is examined: repenting, changing, hoping, trusting, forgiving, loving and sacrificing. Within each week, the days are focused on what we need to do in order to share the story: listening, understanding, reflecting, living, telling, sharing and becoming. Each day offers a Bible passage, followed by a reflection and prayer activity.

Stephen Cherry At a time of change, uncertainty and widespread anxiety, we need to discover again the freshness of our most familiar spiritual resources. Stephen Cherry's Lent book does exactly this by inviting the reader to immerse themselves in the most central, important and iconic of Christian prayers - the Lord's Prayer. Mining the tradition for wisdom and insight, and finding inspiration in the theologians of the past such as St. Paul, Gregory of Nyssa and John Calvin, but also more contemporary voices such as Evelyn Underhill, Simone Weil and Michelle Obama, Thy Will Be Done presents the comforts and challenges of the prayer in 36 short chapters.

This book explains why. With freshness and clarity, Mark Meynell explores the Bible's teaching, to show how God Himself 'cross-examines' us in the death of Jesus. At the cross, God exposes our deepest need, meets it fully and enables us to live transformed lives. This revised and expanded edition includes new chapters on union with Christ and leadership.

Come & See: Learning From the Life of Peter

Stephen Cottrell When we look at the life of Peter - fisherman, disciple, leader of the church - we find somebody who responded wholeheartedly to the call to 'come and see'. Come and meet Jesus, come and follow him, come and find your life being transformed. This book focuses on Peter, not because he is the best-known of Jesus' friends, nor the most loyal, but because he shows us what being a disciple of Jesus is actually like. Like us, he takes a step of faith and then flounders, and needs the saving touch of God to continue becoming the person he was created to be. Come and See provides a pattern of Bible reading, reflection and prayer.

Twenty-eight readings, arranged in four sections, offer short passages from the story of Peter, plus comment and questions for personal response or group discussion.

She went to work at the Scottish Jewish Mission School in Budapest in 1932, where she was a boarding school matron in charge of around 50 orphan girls. The school had 400 pupils, most of them Jewish. Jane was back in the UK on holiday when war broke out in 1939, but she immediately went back to Hungary to do all she could to protect the children at the school. She refused to leave in 1940, and again in March 1944 when Hungary was invaded by the Nazis. Her brave persistence led to her arrest by the Gestapo in April 1944. She died in Auschwitz just a few months later, at the age of 47.

Seven Days that Divide the World: The Beginning According to Genesis and Science

for 2022! « New

John C. Lennox What did the writer of Genesis mean by the first day? Are the seven days in Genesis 1 a literal week or a series of time periods? If I believe that the earth is 4.5 billion years old as cosmologists believe, am I denying the authority of Scripture? With examples from history, a brief but thorough exploration of the major interpretations, and a look into the particular significance of the creation of human beings, Lennox suggests that Christians can heed modern scientific knowledge while staying faithful to the biblical narrative. He moves beyond a simple response to the controversy, insisting that Genesis teaches us far more about the God of Jesus Christ and about God's intention for creation than it does about the age of the earth.

Charles Moseley Charles Moseley – writer, scholar, traveller, speaker – records a journey alone, on foot, across a British countryside almost empty now but full of ancient memory, and records his meditations upon the intersection of past and present, of the holy and the humdrum. His many paths include the way to Walsingham, a Holy Week pilgrimage against the usual tide from Ely to Cambridge, St Herbert's Island in Derwentwater, the Holy Island off Arran, and further pilgrimages to Iona, and Lindisfarne. What makes such places numinous? What gives them that peculiar quality that even those who are sceptical of such things find strange, even challenging? This exceptional observation of the natural and internal landscapes revealed by solitary pilgrimage is a journey that cannot be finished this side of eternity.

They Turned the World Upside Down: A Storyteller’s Journey with Those Who Dared to Follow Jesus

for 2022! « New

Charles Martin Walk in the shoes of the disciples, as New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin brings their stories to life with his storyteller’s perspective. In the first century, 'believer' didn’t just mean someone who heard and agreed with Jesus; it meant someone who acted on that belief. And when the outside world saw the faith of these new believers, they declared 'they turned the world upside down' (Acts 17:6). That’s the kind of believer Charles Martin wants us to be. In his second non-fiction work, he uses his talents as a novelist to walk you through the lives of the disciples in the aftermath of the Resurrection and as they spread the message of the Gospel and 'turn the world upside down', leading up to Paul’s ministry in Thessonalica.

This timeless, compelling, and thought-provoking book on the Christian faith, now updated, includes two all-new chapters, a current list of recommended resources for further study, and a new discussion guide.

This bestselling book is for those who may be feeling attracted to Jesus but who are faced with difficult questions standing squarely in their path. For Christians, it will deepen their convictions and give them fresh confidence in defending their faith to skeptical friends, or during the hardest of times, when they have to defend their faith to themselves in moments of doubt.

We all want to know what awaits us on the other side of death, but is there any reliable evidence that there is life after death? Investigative author Lee Strobel offers a lively and compelling study into one of the most provocative topics of our day. Through fascinating conversations with respected scholars and experts Strobel offers compelling reasons for why death is not the end of our existence but a transition to an exciting world to come.

With a balanced approach, Strobel examines the alternative of Hell and the logic of damnation, and gives a careful look at reincarnation, universalism, the exclusivity claims of Christ, and other issues related to the topic of life after death.
