IS THERE REALLY A BOOK ABOUT EVERYTHING? This is the new Millennium. Hardly a week goes by without us seeing or hearing of another world-changing discovery. Yet have we missed out something special that may provide for us a time-tested way to remake any civilization in love, truth, and beauty? Nebuchadnezzar was without question, the most powerful world leader in all human history. His achievements in physical perfection, social success, technological touch, mental mastery, spiritual sensitivity, political power and cultural cool were a legend. He conquered the world in more ways anyone else has ever done without destroying or enslaving its children. He sought to build the best in the young of each culture, to pass on his significant achievements and direction to their nations. His three-year global test had one astonishing result; four young people from a tiny nation in every major way excelled in all areas. Not just two, three or even four or five times superior in their abilities and accomplishments, but in a quantum leap of being ten times better. What did they know? Who were these unbelievable kids? What could make in them such a massive difference? Their great value was seen by others. How else could they not only survive three rival governments, but retain their significance, power and place in each area for their new rulers? What did they know or find of such influence that this king, the greatest human ruler in all global history, finally adopted the core of what they had for his own life? Nothing you are about to read of here is new or wholly unseen by those who have looked before in these areas and made us many significant studies. Yet what you are about to see has not been applied in quite this way in over twenty centuries of excellent collections of multiplied millions of writings. Oddly enough, it is not about religion, but relationship. What they did have is still available today. We have not paid heed to one of the most important lessons of all time. What you are about to find here may be your key to open a missing door for the needs of our world. Spiritual Vocations is such a record. More than three millennia in the making and ten years in this assembly... May it become an epic journal for you to discover your own destiny. Winkie Pratney has spent more than five decades in researching and sharing practical material to help young people discover what has so often proved to be most significant for their lives. His expertise in five areas of the sciences, arts, communications, history, and youth culture have been a source of challenge and counsel to multitudes of high school and college students from many nations.

THE CAUSE – WHY IS A MANUAL LIKE THIS NEEDED? It is evident to the discerning Christian that an undercurrent of deep uneasiness is washing beneath the waters of Christendom today. Confusion, complacency and compromise mark the average congregation. Evangelical churches are rocking from the challenges of rationalism, the occult, and mass media that has suddenly exposed the young to a “global village” of other faiths. Never before has the Bride of Christ been faced with so much stress within and without. It is with concern for an end-time work of God that this manual has been formulated. Why have we become so complacent? What fresh emphasis does the church need to prepare for the vast upheavals she is beginning to face? Early believers looked with joy to the return of the Master. Today, we know the time is even more “close at hand.” They used this truth to generate a converting compassion driving out to reach the lost masses. But we have often made it an excuse for complacency. Persecution was the womb of the early church. Born in the power of the Holy Spirit and the challenge of secularized religions co-operating with the political powers of the day, it thrived under bitter opposition. In an environment of tension and danger, the men and women God used to represent Christ to the world bore a faith that flamed. Stand beside them in the record, the Scriptures that set our pattern. They pray because they must. They give because they love. They speak, for they cannot be silent. Whenever the Church has prospered materially, the black angel of complacency has reaped a deadly harvest. Invariably, spiritual desolation has followed rampant materialism. The flame of dedication has flickered and smouldered – and into the vacuum of carnality and compromise, the Enemy always floods. Whenever the pleas of God for His church to return to first love have been shrugged off or rejected, judgment has always struck. It has been so in history. It will be so again, unless we do something NOW. What are the needs of this hour? Faced with the most momentous time in history, blood-bought believers must crystalize problems and provide an answer to this hour of our greatest challenge. We need help that is Scriptural, adaptable, adequate and highly practical. Above all, we need it NOW. We can learn much from what has gone before. Vital revivals have often come from a re-evaluation of the work and the Word of God. Such show His purpose, patterns and power. Many were ignored, criticized even violently opposed. But they inject new life whenever dared into the veins of diminished, dying orthodoxy. YOUTH AFLAME! 2.0 is written for a future need already becoming present. It is directed to half the world still in search of a goal, a leader and a cause to give their lives to… The global Youth of Century 21. It is intended to provide answers for reaching the unchurched and untouched. It is geared for the confused and the complacent. It is given with the prayer that God will use it to grip young people with a cause and a vision that will drive them out to shake their world for the Lord Jesus Christ. A vision of — YOUTH AFLAME!

"This is not your father's revival," writes legendary youth leader Winkie Pratney to the youth of today, showing them the part they will play in the fresh, exciting move of God that is now beginning. In Fire on the Horizon, Winkie writes about two forms of divine fire: judgment fire and the fire of awakening. The first, he says, God will use to get the attention of our society and of His church in the coming days. The second he is using to display His greatness and glory to bring about revival and harvest in these end times. And contrary to popular sociological opinion, GenX and GenNext-the "slackers"-have a critical role to play, a divine appointment with destiny. Winkie documents how the participation of our young people in this new revival is vital to the fulfillment of God's purposes on earth.
