About the author

William T. Stead

355 books26 followers
William Thomas Stead was an English newspaper editor who, as a pioneer of investigative journalism, became a controversial figure of the Victorian era. Stead published a series of hugely influential campaigns whilst editor of The Pall Mall Gazette, and he is best known for his 1885 series of articles, The Maiden Tribute of Modern Babylon, written in support of a bill to raise the age of consent from 13 to 16, dubbed the "Stead Act."

Stead's 'new journalism' paved the way for the modern tabloid in Great Britain. He was influential in demonstrating how the press could be used to influence public opinion and government policy, and advocated "government by journalism". He was also well known for his reportage on child welfare, social legislation and reformation of England's criminal codes.

Stead died when the RMS Titanic sank, and was considered to be one of the most famous Englishmen on board.

The book succeeds in giving the reader glimpses into the Welsh revival, but one is not left with the impression of having the full picture. Tidbits here and there, and some details about Evan Roberts. Still, a helpful book that succeeds what it promises - to give eyewitness accounts. Most of the eyewitness accounts come with theological commentary, some good and other less so.

An amazing event told in a less than optimal way, but since it's simply a collection of primary sources (and I like primary sources) I feel it deserves four stars.

If God did it for them...He can do it for us

May this burning revival burst forth in our country and heal our land. Jesus is the same, yesterday, today, and forever! If we cry out, He will pour out his spirit on all people. This book is a MUST READ!

Good

The first chapter starts out dull, but stay with it, for it gets more interesting! It got four stars for some redundant sections. Read to find out what makes a good revival. You will find out that the Welsh revival transformed their society for the better.

We need a Holy Ghost revival Now!

Encouraging to say the least! God is still in the reviving business. Ol that we could experience a Great Move of God in America and throughout the world! Let it be Lord Jesus! Be moved and encouraged.

Although this book uses some arcane language, the stories are so amazing that it is very easy to read! Oh, you will be so blessed to imagine the atmosphere of revivals in Wales and Great Britain! I highly recommend this book!

Written by a renowned journalist who died on the Titanic, with a contribution from G. Campbell Morgan. A brief account, starting with the journalist's own revival experience in Wales in 1860, it follows with about 50 pages on the 1905 Welsh revival. Perhaps the most sober and valuable statements are made by Morgan in the final contribution.
