Revival Revisited (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781794754898)

Spurgeon said, "If revival is to come 'we must go directly to the Holy Ghost for it, and not resort to the machinery of the professional revival-maker.' Ministers that are careless about the truths that cross their lips, church officers that are dead weight upon the Christian community, and members that do not relish the spiritual exhilaration of divine truth are all like smoke in the eyes and as agreeable to the lively saint as being bound to a dead body. They are sickening and make 'the inmost spirit feel the horrors of mental nausea.' (Nettles 2013 p257) I possibly use the term revival a little different to what some may expect, but whilst this book does consider the Welsh Revival type revival, and what seems like a moving of the spirit in large churches on a global scale, my main issue throughout is what I call true revival within the individual. This may indeed come about from other types of revival, but I argue that if each and every Christian was true to their calling, large scale revival would not be necessary.
