Oft overlooked classic on revival

There is a lot of talk these days about revival. It has been a buzzword through the 20th century churches and likely to remain so for a long time. But it has become so familiar that most have forgotten what it truly means. The 20th century "revivals" such as the so called "Toronto Blessing" have little in common with the revivals of the early 18th century described by Jonathan Edwards. Which makes it even more odd that so many of those 20th century revivalists claim the great theologian as their spiritual father. It can only mean that very few have actually read this masterful and detailed account of the marks of true revival. It is a classic, and like the old saw - a classic is a book that everybody talks about but few actually read. We should not make that mistake and presume to talk about revival. This work will challenge assumptions and be the key to a revival that truly revives and changes lives.
