Revive Us Again: Biblical Insights for Encouraging Spiritual Renewal

by Walter C. Kaiser Jr.

It only takes a look at the evening news for us to realize that there is much wrong with this world of ours. The sins of Greed, Lust, Violence and Corruption are rife in all sections of our society. Christians are becoming at best an irrelevance and at worst a persecuted minority. Walter C Kaiser Jr. suggests the one answer to these pressing problems, revival. Not a foot-stomping, soul-saving series of meetings but an individual believer's refocusing on God as the centre of life. With his usual scholarship and vision Dr Walter C. Kaiser Jr. reveals spiritual principles inherent in the great awakenings of the Bible and shows us how to prepare the way for revival today. Revivals like those led by Moses and by John the Baptist provides us with clear examples of what God can do when His sovereign will is acknowledged and obeyed. Read this book and help prepare the way for revival in your community, your church and most importantly your heart.

Reviews

[Michael Philliber · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the 2nd time I have read this book. The first time was November 2002. It is a devotional-meditative resource on "Revival and Reformation" that is not about techniques on rousing enthusiasm in a church. Instead, it is a clear call to deep repentance, vivacious prayer, restoring the place of Biblical preaching, and longingly seeking the face of God - the God and Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Whether one is a Calvinist or an Arminian; Pentecostal or Presbyterian; a Prayerbook man or a "Spirit-Filled" person: This is an essential, thought-provoking, prayer-rousing book. I unreservedly recommend it - especially to Pastors, Elders and Church leaders.
