Description
‘…a blend of history, biography and reports as well as several testimonies of those blessed on the Isle of Lewis, off the west coast of Scotland, during the 1949-52 awakening. This will become for those burded for revival a primary and powerful resource for understanding God’s ways in sending “times of refreshing for all his people.’ Rev. Dr. Ted S. Rendall, Chancellor Emeritus, Prairie Bible Institute, Author of ‘Fire In the Church’.
‘…provides ringing affirmation that God is still on the throne and delights to make bare His mighty arm in revival when His people get serious with Him.’ Rev. Richard Owen Roberts, Author of ‘Scotland saw His Glory’.
‘Here you can read Duncan Campbell’s own reports, along with eyewitness records, (including that of Mary) of those amazing days, and a description of the characteristics of the revival. …the desperate state of our society and the church which bears the bame of Christ should drive us to pray with the Psalmist, “Will You not revive us again, O Lord?”‘ Rev. Peter Grainger, Senior Pastor, Charlotte Baptist Chapel, Edinburgh
‘In a time of extreme apathy among Christian people, yet when talk about revival has become trendy, many Christians have no real concept of true God-sent revival. May this publication be used to provide a clearer understanding of revival and also create a longing that God, in His providence, may revive us again and awaken His Church which, in many places, has settled for death.’ Rev Tom Shaw, Minister of Donaghey Congregational Church, N. Ireland, Honorary President of the Faith Mission.
‘I cannot recall any book on revival that I have read that has given me greater pleasure, held my attention more, and incited my longing for a new visitation from God more than this one.’ Rev. Brian Edwards
