Revival
It’s often said that the crying need of our times is for a powerful work of the spirit of God in saving sinners and stirring up the people of God to greater zeal and piety in serving Him. One can wonder, has there ever been a time when those who love Christ did not yearn for such events? Some of the writings in this section tell the history of those glorious times when the hand of God came down and the Holy Spirit worked with great power to shake a city, nation, or even a continent. Others included here will be of a more personal nature, directing you to seek the Lord earnestly until He comes and blesses. All are sure to warm your heart toward Christ.

Revival (Steve Gaines)
$14.39“Will you not revive us again so that your people may rejoice in you?” (Psalm 85:6) Following the revival at Asbury University, Christians are asking what is a revival, how do we know it, and—perhaps most intriguing—how might Christians prepare the way for such a movement of God? In Revival: When God Comes to Church, Pastor Steve Gaines analyzes how churches can look like the church of the First Century. Infused with the Holy Spirit, they evangelized most of the civilized world within only three centuries. Revival is what we call it when God to comes to church!$17.99 -

Ten Indictments Against the Modern Church (Paul Washer)
$6.50The modern church is in need of revival. But as author Paul Washer contends, “We cannot simply do what is right in our own eyes and then expect the Holy Spirit to come down and bless our labors.” Truth be told, the devil has little need to oppose the church’s prayer for revival unless God’s people are seeking to live lives and order congregations according to God’s Word. This book examines ten areas where churches have neglected clear biblical direction and need to prayerfully seek reformation.

Lectures on Revivals (William Sprague)
$27.50“I have a large collection of books on revival. Among them is a dated copy of Lectures on Revivals by Sprague. I have often told people that this was one of the top books on the subject if they were somehow able to procure a copy. Of special importance are the letters at the end of the book where Christian leaders write of their experience in the Second Great Awakening and the insights gained. This is a valuable book. You will find the material amazingly pertinent.” – Jim Elliff
Sprague’s experience of genuine revivals, his faithfulness to Biblical theology and his balanced view, eminently fitted him to write what Dr. Lloyd-Jones describes as “The outstanding classic on this vital and urgently important matter.” The chapters cover such themes as The Nature of a Revival, Obstacles to Revivals, Divine Agency in Revivals, General Means of Producing and Promoting Revivals, Treatment due to Awakened Sinners, Evils to be Avoided in Connection with Revivals, etc. It also contains an appendix with 20 letters about revival from various important pastors of the 19th century.

The Power of Prayer: The New York Revival of 1858 (Samuel Prime)
$11.50The Autumn of 1857 saw New York in the midst of financial failure which ruined many of its one million people. J.W. Alexander, returning there from Europe, found ‘a pall of mourning over every house’. But, unlike other times of national disaster this era was accompanied by a renewed spirit of prayer to be followed by a manifestation of the ‘marvellous lovingkindness’ of God as thousands were brought from worldly sorrow to the possession of everlasting riches and life in Christ.
Samuel Prime’s work, written with the aid of other ministers, gives a first hand record of the year which saw America’s last national awakening- a revival which, noiseless and unexpected, was in striking contrast with the idea that evangelism is primarily a case of human effort. In 1858 the great truths ‘made exceedingly prominent’ were ‘the influence of the Holy Spirit and free salvation through the righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ’.

“Through all of Tozer’s books and articles there shines a passion for God that puts our shallowness to shame, and reading him is like drinking at an oasis in the desert.”

The Korean Pentecost and the Sufferings Which Followed
$11.50“The Korean Pentecost shows what God can do when His people take Him at His Word.”
— J. G. VosBack in print for the first time since 1977, this is a remarkable account of the first 60 years of the church in Korea (mainly North Korea). William Blair (1876–1970), in his first term of missionary service, was at the center of the great revival of 1907, and his account of this and the events leading up to it forms the first part of the book. Blair includes a thrilling description of how the gospel first came to Korea.
His son-in-law Bruce Hunt (1903–92) then continues the story. Born in Pyongyang (capital of North Korea), he shows how the revival was followed by a baptism of suffering under the Japanese and Communists. During his 48 years of missionary service in Korea, Hunt personally knew many of the Korean Christian martyrs.
