Endorsements

‘One of the best treatments of revival and the power of the Holy Spirit I have ever come across. It most closely resembles my beliefs with regard to this doctrine.’ — PAUL WASHER

Book Description

‘It is noteworthy that there are more books describing revivals than there are those that deal with their biblical basis. That may be because to read about revivals is more pleasant, and initially, perhaps, more inspiring, than understanding the struggle to establish a biblical theology which explains and justifies the phenomenon. But in the long run it has to be the latter which is more important. This book aims to supply that lack.’ — IAIN MURRAY

  1. Kevin Roy –

    One of the few books I have read multiple times. Careful, scholarly, interesting and inspiring, it always inspires me to pray.

  2. Gian Luca Holzer –

    I agree with P. Washer. A helpful book to someone who is confused about the doctrine of the Holy Spirt and wants solid truth and clarity in our times, when the Holy Spirt is being blapshmed actively.
