Thoughts of the New England Revival (Jonathan Edwards)
$24.95$28.00
1742 was a year of great blessing but also of growing controversy. The Great Awakening of 1740 was still in progress, but a few dissenting voices were starting to make themselves heard. In Thoughts on the New England Revival Jonathan Edwards spoke out, not for the first time, in defense of what he considered to be ‘the glorious work of God’.
In this book, he enlarges and develops the arguments put forward in his The Distinguishing Marks of a Work of the Spirit of God, with the aim of defending this unprecedented period of revival against the unjust words of its critics and the overzealous excesses of its friends, both of which, he feared, would quench the Spirit and put a stop to the blessing.
What is a revival? How is it to be recognized? Is it a genuine work of the Spirit of God? If it is, then how is revival to be guarded against the spurious errors and unspiritual tendencies of its over-zealous promoters? These are the questions taken up and ably answered by ‘the theologian of revival’, who, in God’s providence, has supplied future generations of Christians with a sure guide on this vital subject.

Vindicating the Great Awakening

“No one has tasted and tested the experience of revival like Jonathan Edwards. In this book (as everywhere) he navigates biblically between intellectualism and emotionalism, doctrinaire and doctrineless Christianity, paralyzing self-condemnation and arrogant self-exaltation, the presumptuous pursuit of revival and indolent passivity. In my experience Edwards is second only to the Bible.’

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 -

$29.95J. C.

Prayer: The Church’s Great Need (Jesse Hamilton)
$5.99Many books have been written on prayer – probably as many as on any aspect of Christian living. So, why should you read this one? Because it will challenge you to higher aspirations in prayer in practical and achievable ways. Some books make prayer far too complex and elevate the practice of prayer to nearly unachievable standards that even the most saintly believer could scarcely reach. Others claim that prayer is so simple, one would wonder why any of us find it difficult at all or even need to be taught a thing about it. Just go to God and talk, right? This book falls for neither of these nonsensical approaches. Author Jesse Hamilton writes as a modern-day E.M. Bounds, whose many books on prayer compelled a generation of 19th-century Christians around the world to their knees. Any young Christian or new believer can here learn the basics of how to pray, while even the most aged and mature believer will find his soul again challenged in these words to seek the face of God with new fervency.

Island Aflame (Tom Lennie)
$15.95Revival history expert sorts fact from myth in the story of one of the best known revivals
Scotland has played host to a vast array of religious revivals over the course of its history, but by far the best known of these is the Lewis Revival of 1949–52 (also known as the Hebrides revival). The stories around it are extraordinary, with the Spirit working in the lives of many people across this Scottish island.
There have been, however, rumours and myths that have grown up around the stories of the Lewis Revival, that did not actually occur. Revival history expert, Tom Lennie, examines the eye witness accounts and sorts the amazing true story from the exaggerations that have become entangled.
The story of the revival that truly occurred is based on overwhelming evidence. Its essence was powerful preaching, based on God’s word. It was a remarkable, life changing event for hundreds of individuals, and that still has an impact today.
