Description

This rare book- published in 1860 as the first comprehensive account of the 1859 revival in Wales- holds a primary place in the authentic records of periods of remarkable spiritual recovery and growth. The author was an eye witness of much that he records, and he also gives the testimony of other contemporary observers from all parts of Wales. They all shared the conviction that ‘the Almighty is opening the sluices of grace and pouring out streams of blessings on the churches of all denominations’.

1859 was unmistakeably a time of profound emotion and of extraordinary numbers of professed converts but the author is not pre-occupied with these things. His greater concern is to show the marks of true Christianity in a time of revival and, pre-eminently, the moral change which is to be found in every true convert: ‘They are told that excitement is not conversion and that whatever confidence they may have it is a delusion unless it is accompanied by hatred of sin, and a renunciation of it in every shape and form’.

MY FAVOURITE BOOK AFTER THE BIBLE

Posted by SL MILLWARD on 7th Sep 2011

What can I say?? This little book has taught me so very much about God and how He chooses to bring revival. If this is the only book you buy apart from the Bible, then you have chosen well.
I have been abundantly blessed by the eye-witness accounts given by pastors of many churcHes throughout Wales at the time of the 1859/1860 revival. It takes ages to read because there is so much to take in.
If your desire is to see everyone know God really, really deeply, then this book will thrill you over and over again.
I have purchased 15 copies so far, and I just know that everyone who reads this book will be CHANGED FOREVER.
