MEDIA ADVISORY, October 27, /Christian Newswire/ -- In Manitou Springs, Colorado, John Burton learned about the power of prayer.

Launching a church in a city that was a well known haven for witches and followers of the occult, Burton began a prayer event called "Pray Manitou Springs."

"People made it clear to me that they didn't want us there," Burton said. "All of the sudden the Lord speaks to me. He said, 'I want to visit people in the night.'"

The next morning, Burton received a phone call about a man who said he had been visited by Jesus in the night.

"He was overcome and for the rest of his life he wouldn't be the same," Burton said. "And he had been a senior ranking witch in the area for 50 years."

This is one of many stories Burton tells in his new book, "Revelation Driven Prayer." The book is Burton's personal story of how prayer has changed his life and the lives of those around him.

"The idea is very simple," Burton said. "It is living a life based on God's precise revelation and instruction that is received through a lifestyle of prayer."

Burton and his wife, Amy, began Revolution House of Prayer in Manitou Springs in 2001. The couple and their children are currently serving at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City. John and his wife have ministered throughout the world sharing their messages about how prayer can change lives.

In the book, Burton encourages everyone to think about their personal prayer life.

"Passive prayer where we are driving down the road and talking to God is fine," Burton said. "Regular powerful prayer---that's when we begin to see things happen."

Revelation Driven Prayer will be available in bookstores across the nation beginning Oct. 30. To order a copy online, go to www.revivalnationpublishing.com. To arrange an interview with John Burton, call 1-866-487-1361, ext. 702.
