Reviews

Geoff Waugh has his finger on the pulse of what God is doing in revival. This book will help you get a greater vision of the heart and power of God.  Steven Loopstra

Refreshing, exciting, thought-provoking! It was right down my alley as a student and participant in search for historic revival in our day.  Amazon customer

Like Luke, Geoff Waugh bears witness to this generation of the works of the Holy Spirit through the Body of Christ after the close of the Book of Acts. As the children of Israel were instructed to diligently teach their sons who asked, “What mean the testimonies?,” he declares what God has faithfully performed on behalf of His people. With all the unbelieving voices around us, Waugh’s reminder of God’s unending power and intervention will give you hope.  Fundacion Efrain

 

Kindles the flame

I have read a number of accounts of revivals, including Wesley Duewel’s ‘Revival Fire’ and ‘Revival fires and Awakenings’ by Matthew Backholer, and ‘In the Day of thy Power’ by Wallis, and I would say that this would be a pretty good starting point to the literature on revival.

I admit I’ve not read it all so far, but what I have read is accurate with other accounts, and Geoff Waugh clearly has a heart to see God move. He helpfully summarises the features of biblical revivals as well as historical ones and recognises that revival has often not been documented because revivals have been suppressed by the established church and also those who have led revivals were not writing things down.

I do like the listing at the front which shows that Waugh is fairly comprehensive in the number of revivals he tackles – this is reminiscent of Backholer who is also very global in his treatments. Already I want to read even more now about the Moravians just from the short account included. John Bookman

Powerful 6-minute video – Do it again Lord
