In every account of revival there are valuable lessons that can be learnt, including: How the
Christians prayed, the Scriptures that they pleaded, the challenges that they faced and the
conclusions that can be drawn from each account - they saw the blessing of God in their towns
and cities as God came down and convicted saints, converted sinners and transformed lives.
The author also makes numerous references to other lesser known revivals and brings facts to life
through the use of detailed descriptions, statistics, interviews and eye-witness accounts;
coupled with his broad and extensive knowledge of revival church history makes this book
a truly educational, yet challenging read. Learn from the past, be challenged for the
present and be inspired for the future!
