by John Greenfield (Author)
"Power From on High" is a compelling historical account of the 1727 Moravian revival at Herrnhut, an event that stands as one of the most significant spiritual awakenings in Christian history. Written by John Greenfield, this work explores the profound transformation of a small community of refugees who, under the leadership of Count Nicholas Ludwig von Zinzendorf, became a global force for evangelism. The narrative focuses on the events surrounding the "Moravian Pentecost," detailing the intense prayer, unity, and spiritual outpouring that ignited a continuous prayer vigil lasting over a hundred years.
Through meticulous documentation, Greenfield highlights the themes of brotherly love and total consecration that defined the Moravian brethren. The work serves as an insightful examination of the principles behind genuine religious revival and the impact of the Holy Spirit on a dedicated body of believers. "Power From on High" offers readers an intimate look at the birth of the modern missionary movement and provides lasting inspiration for those interested in church history and spiritual renewal. It remains an essential text for understanding the legacy of the Moravian faith and the enduring power of communal devotion.
