by Jessie Penn-Lewis

Book Overview

Watchman Nee called it the "greatest known revival in church history." On October 31, 1904, Evan Roberts, a twenty-six-year-old former miner, returned home from a ministry training program, having quit his job at the urging of the Holy Spirit.

A Tremendous Encouragment

This is the best book covering the revival in Wales out of the ten or so on the market. It details all the fantastic happenings attributed to this turn of the century move of God from a first hand perspective because the author, Jessie Penn-Lewis, was there and was a personal friend of the main evangelist Evan Roberts. The author recounts first hand stories from the revival that resulted in bringing over 70,000 people to Faith in Jesus Chirst in the first two months. Stories such as: pubs closing because they had no customers, football teams disbanding beacuse of lack of interest in temporal things, and judges that had no cases to try because everyone was in church.

The Awakening in Wales

This is the best and most powerful description of the Welsh revival that I have run across. It is written by Jessie Penn-Lewis who attended the revival in person. It describes many stories and first hand experiences of the powerful move of God in Wales starting in 1904 where over 70,000 people embraced Jesus Christ in the first 2 months. The text describes how all aspects of life was altered during the revival--including judges with no cases, football teams with no fans, the closing of all the pubs, and many miraculous events that occured during the church services. It keeps your attention throughout the manuscript and will woo you towards greater intimacy with the glorious man Christ Jesus. I highly recommend the book. Buy a copy for yourself and one to give to a friend.
