  Martin Scott's previous book, Gaining Ground , focused on the development of strategic prayer, examined possible new shapes for the 21st Century Church and looked at how churches can join together in a unified prayer initiative that will reach their community. In Impacting the City , Martin breaks new ground and takes these concepts further to look at how God's people can reach their city. Martin Scott unfolds a fourfold City-reaching strategy and contends that wherever these four elements are combined, the Church will make a great impact: when those carrying responsibility within the pastoral realm of the body of Christ come together in unity; when believers stand together to exert influence through every sphere of life in their cities (i.e. the commercial centres, the arts, financial institutions etc); when multi-level prayer is developed; and, when a prophetic watchpeople rises up in the city so that the voice of God is being heard through all that is taking place. Scott also proposes that there are a limited number of city types based on the cities that Jesus addresses in the book of Revelation . These types are examined so that readers will be able to identify the characteristics of their own city and consequently form a more appropriate strategy for obtaining a breakthrough.
