The author explores the nature and concept of revivals and poses the questions: How did the revivalists see revival?
Can we see revival today, and if so how? He explores the Divine-human partnership of revival, explains how revivals
are birthed and reveals the fascinating links between pioneering missionaries and the revivals that they saw in their
fulfilment of the Great Commission.
The author takes us through the Scriptures and explains why we need revival and the Scriptural basis for our prayers
for revival. He asks us to consider our lifestyles, motives for revival, our responsibility for evangelism and world
missions and explains how we too can see revival when we have fulfilled our responsibility in the eyes of our
covenant-keeping God.
God has so much more for us, if we are willing to meet His conditions and pay the price. Learn from the past,
be challenged for today and be inspired for the future!
