“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.
