Curse of the Skunk People Or, Piercing the Mist to Move the Mountain "The book that will revolutionize your prayer life" by Brad Fenichel, founder of the National Minute of Prayer. Willi Wagner, a young Anabaptist, fled his native Germany in 1916 on a pilgrimage that would take him deep into the forgotten sierras of Central Mexico in his search for the legendary Skunk People. At stake … the very notion that God still cares to be involved with men and women in our own time! Wagner’s dogged tenacity, through triumph and tragedy, stands as an inspiration for those of us living a century later who would dare—as he did—to believe that God not only exists, but that He rewards those who diligently seek Him. Told in parable form, this fictional story is a challenge for each of us to connect with God and discover personal revival, prevailing prayer, and the fulfillment of His purposes for us in our generation.  The book is presented in ten chapters, with a corresponding ten-part Study Guide (included in the back of the book) for personal devotions or small groups.

Join Brad Fenichel, author and founder of the National Minute of Prayer, on an action-packed 30-day devotional journey through Isaiah 61—the “Messianic playbook” which Jesus Himself quoted as His inaugural speech in Luke 4, and which contains marching orders for us, the corps of “Blessed Mourners” ordained to continue His mission.
