Want to Help Write a Book?

I'm in the middle of writing my second book. It's called, "Guerrilla Lovers." The idea is that God wants us to change the world, to take over the world - but the way to do it is not through "shock and awe" war tactics, but rather through "guerrilla warfare" tactics. Guerrilla warfare is based on knowing your enemy, on intelligence and creativity, on repeated close proximity, low intensity, quick surprise ambush attacks until you wear down your opponent.

That's what we need to do: love people repeatedly with intelligence and creativity, at close proximity, with low intensity, in quick ambush love attacks, until we finally wear people down and they become open to the gospel of love that drives us.

So ... this book will feature lots of amazing stories of people who have done just that. People who have, basically, loved people into the Kingdom.

And that's where you come in: Do you have a great story like that? Maybe from your life, or someone you know, or it could even be a famous story that needs to be told again. It could be of someone who forgave an enemy, or who touched the sick, or used their resources to make a difference, or a small group who did this, or someone who did it on the mission field... If you have such a story, could you please e-mail it to me at: vince@forefront.org. Put "guerrilla" in the subject line. What will you receive for doing this? Well, definitely my undying gratitude, and if I actually end up using your story (which I can't promise) I will send you a free copy of the book when it comes out.
