History's great revivals and the men God used
From the beginning of human history, there is a pattern of turning away from God. There have been many times throughout history, though, when Christians have realized the sin and moral weakness in their community, nation, and even among themselves, and they have humbled themselves, sought God's forgiveness, and pleaded with Him to revive them again-to restore to them the power and love and holiness that God desires.
A true revival is powerful. In true revivals, lives are changed for all of eternity. People are converted, sin is rejected, crime is reduced, profanity decreases, and the love of the world is diminished. The things of this life do not seem as important as they used to, and the things of eternity matter.
Old-Time Revivals provides a glimpse of what God has done in the past, including in America's "Great Awakenings." Read what God has done and how lives, families, communities, and nations have been changed by the power of God and awakened to His truth and love. Know that God can do it again. Let this book inspire you to seek God again and plead with Him to revive us again (Psalm 85:6).
