The book in your hands is more than just a biblical response to one of the greatest longings of the Church at this time . . . Debra Green lives to see communities redeemed and she has learned the lessons revealed in this book the hard way, day-to-day, over many years.
This book absolutely bubbles over with practical stories about the difference that the people of God have made through intelligent, united prayer expressed sacrificially in society.
Pete Greig, 24-7 Prayer
It has been thrilling to watch the Church across the UK get even more engaged in their local communities over the last few years. Debra’s work and this timely book are playing a key part in fueling this God-given vision.
Andy Hawthorne, CEO, The Message Trust

The Redeeming our Communities story shows that the coming together of good policing, practical work by churches and focused prayer does change lives forever.
Matt Baggott CBE, Chief Constable, Leicestershire Constabulary
