Customer Reviews

Not a lot of substance.

Being a HUGE fan of Experiencing God, I bought this book to discuss with a small group. It's a great book, because it explains the basics of revival. It just seems to lack a lot of substance. The chapters are pretty simple and can be read in about 20 minutes. I have not yet read Part 2, so I'm hoping things will change.

Good and needful

Great book. But what I really want is to get hold of the Workbook which is not available in Malaysia. I'm sorry if I'm misusing this column - I don't how else to get through. We did Experiencing God a few years ago and I must say it is the best workbook ever - period. We got it from the Philippines and it was half the price than if we got it from the States. I understand from my local Baptist Bookshop in Penang, Malaysia that we can no longer get copies from the Philippines. That's not good for us. Please authorise sales to Asia from Philippines. Secondly, we need Fresh Encounter workbooks - preferably printed in Philippines or Singapore. The book (not the workbook)is available in a special print from Singapore - I think Campus Crusade. Please help, urgently!

Easy to read, understand, and apply to the Christian life.

If you are searching for revival in your walk with Jesus Christ, or if you are a new Christian desiring to "ground" yourself in the Word, this book is what you're looking for. The format allows you to examine your personal relationship with God by answering questions and learning how to pray for God's direction in your life. Just as God's mission for your life, this book is not to be taken lightly. Plan to study this book with a group or in dedicated quiet time. This experience requires your availability to listen to what God wants to reveal in your life.

What is Personal Revival Like?

Henry's understanding of revival is deepened by his personal experience of revival in western Canada in the 1970's. This is a thoroughly biblical treatment of the ways of God in revival.
