Get Your Hands On Lord Of The Ring: In Search Of Count Von Zinzendorf Planned By Phil Anderson Provided As Textbook

book gave me a deeper understanding of how Moravians affected modern mission, how instrumental Count von Zinzindorf was, how important community was to their model, how farreaching and influential their movement was to John Wesley and William Wilberforce and contributed to the abolition of slavery, and what ultimately led to its demise.


It wasn't the most compelling read I was able to put it down for a couple months but ultimately wanted to finish.
It lacked the luster that makes the people come alive, but it was a historical factual retelling, after all,

It spurs me to consider some of the emerging missional movements and compare, What worked What didn't What works today Why What is the shelf life of a movement like this How can it impact the future even if it dissolves

And therein lies its value to me.
I picked up this book

because I wanted to learn more about Count vin Zinzendorf, but this book is more than that, It's a history of the Moravian movement, something I was unfamiliar with, Really interesting book. Each chapter closes with a segment about a trip the author took to "find" Zinzendorf and the start of the Moravians, The book fell a bit short in what it says it wants to do explaining Herrnhut'shour,year constant prayer, Somewhere around the middle of the book that fell out of the writing, and it didn't come back in until the very end, Disappointing, especially since that was the reason I kept reading the early chapters which were a little dry, Awesome Part history, part narrative, The Lord of the Ring takes readers on a fascinating journey back to theth century Moravian renewal movement andyear prayer watch.
Experience the passion of young Count Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf and his friends as they took a vow to serve Christ their King faithfully in whatever situation of life they found themselves.
Signed by the five school friends and illustrated in a medallion made by Zinzendorfs grandmother, the vow of the “Confessors of Christ” is as relevant today as when it first was conceived in.
Join Phil Anderson on an aerial road trip via his threeseater plane as he undertakes ast century pilgrimage from England to Germany, Anderson retraces the steps of Zinzendorf, reconnects with his legacy and seeks to apply it to life and faith in a new millennium, Learning from the past, readers will discover crucial signposts for grappling with the Church of todays identity and calling as an authentic, relational, missional community.
