There is an urgent need for revival in our country and the world.

When we refer to 'revival', we are not merely referring to a series of revival services, campaigns or gatherings, but also to the sovereign, spontaneous, inexplicable outpouring and working of the Holy Spirit, which can never be planned or organised. Revival is more than successful evangelization, and more than just miracles, signs, wonders and healings.

Revival has a godly element that cannot be explained in human terms. It is a divine intervention because it brings a deep, and usually unnerving, conviction of sin. There is an inexplicably powerful presence of God. Ultimately, revival brings exceptional joy and the absolute certainty of one's salvation. Scottish preacher and revivalist, Duncan Campbell, described revival as "A people saturated with God."

When we read revival accounts, we realize how little influence the church has on society today There is an urgent need for revival in our country, as well as worldwide.

The purpose of this book is to encourage the reader in praying with renewed fervor for revival in this day and generation as we learn about the many wonderful things God has done in previous generations.
