Reviews

[Aaron de Gastyne]

God, is it your will to move this way in my life?

“Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?” (Ps. 85:6)

[Conor]

A 30 minute blessing.

It took 30 minutes to read this small testimony of revival in Scotland, yet it encourages the reader to do more than read. What a motivation to pray and ask that the the Lord would do the same in our town.

[Gregory Kirk]

Revival?

Great read on the Holy Spirit's work in bringing revival. This book was very helpful as I personally am asking God for revival in my own life and ministry. Highly recommend it you are burdened by the need of a spiritual awakening.

[Barry Voorhies]

An accurate account of the Hebrides Revival

This is a great read. It is an inspiring story about two sisters who could not attend church, so they simply began praying. Prayer is the ministry. Humble Prayer is what God desires in us and from us.

[Fred Fanning]

The Lewis Awakening is Duncan Campbell's telling of the events that occurred to this small area of Scotland. God moved in this area before Campbell's arrival. Once he got there he became a part of an exceptional awakening to God through his Holy Spirit. A great story that helped me understand the event.

Good read

Excellent coverage of the revival. It is inspirational and will lead the earnest seeker to pray and seek God for revival in their own life, church and community.

[Bob Raleigh]

Excellent writing. Succinct and refreshing. Moving, poignant and relevant to 2021.

[Rocky Henriques]

Oh, God...

...do it again! Christians should read this book and begin to seek once again the Presence of God among us such as is described here!

[Christine Gustin (christinebookstagram)]

Incredible little book!

[Bill]

For my entire life and ministry I have been praying for and seeking a God-sent revival. The church needs to be revived or it will not be able to effectively reach a lost and dying world. Entertainment based worship makes “Christians” who are following a feeling. Our need is for worship in spirit and in truth that draws disciples closer to the Lord so they are energized to go anywhere, speak to anyone, and do anything to advance His kingdom. Reading about the Lewis Awakening rekindled my hope. I know that God can do it again. Are we willing to be vessels that He can use?

[Carla M. Kropp]

Thought provoking

This little book blessed me it made me really think about what revival really is and what is required to see it in the Church

[Sandy McFadyean]

A short and concise book on the Lewis Revival. A must read for those looking for Revival in the 22nd century.

[Brandon Boyd]

This book will help you, if you will listen to what it is saying
