Synopsis

What is a Revival and why does it matter to your church?

This concise guide explains what revival means, how it differs from mere excitement, and why true revivals come from the Holy Spirit. It helps readers distinguish genuine awakenings from superficial hype, so you can recognize and cultivate lasting spiritual renewal. In clear terms, the book shows how revivals renew spirituality among believers and often accompany many conversions. It also discusses factors that help or hinder a revival, such as prayer, humility, and dependence on God, as well as myths that can mislead churches. The author draws on historical examples to illustrate how revivals begin, progress, and sometimes fade, offering practical guidance for ministry today.

• Clear definitions of revival and how it relates to personal conversion and community renewal
• Signs of genuine revival versus temporary religious excitement
• Why prayer, humility, and trust in God are essential to sustained revival
• Common obstacles that can hinder or arrest renewal and how to overcome them

Ideal for readers of religious history, church leaders, and anyone seeking meaningful, lasting spiritual renewal.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Handbook of Revivals: For the Use of Winners of Souls

That day which shall convince the great body of professing Christians of the reality and desirableness of revivals, will constitute a new era in the history of religion; and will precede manifestations of power like that of Pentecost. Albert Barnes.

Whatever I possess of religion began in a revival. The most precious, steadfast and vigorous fruits of my ministry have been the fruits of revivals. Charles P. McIlvaine.

Let your hearts be much set on revivals of religion. Never forget that the churches have hitherto existed and prospered by revivals; and that if they are to exist and prosper in time to come, it must be by the same cause which has from the first been their glory and defence. Joel Hawes.

I do not believe that my desires for a revival were ever half so strong as they ought to be; nor do I see how a minister can help being in a "constant fever" in such a town as this, where his Master is dishonored and souls are destroyed in so many ways. Edward Payson.

Our strong men and strong congregations are fruits of revivals; and ten years without these special refreshings would show a positive decline in the churches. Matthew Simpson.

If any minister can be satisfied without conversions, he shall have no conversions. - Chas. H. Spurgeon.
