Dr. A.T. Schofield "One thing to be borne in mind is that since the days of Pentecost there is no record of the sudden and direct work of the Spirit of God upon the souls of men that has not been accompanied by events more or less abnormal. It is, indeed, on consideration, only natural that it should be so. We cannot expect an abnormal inrush of Divine light and power, so profoundly affecting the emotions and changing the lives of men, without remarkable results. As well expect a hurricane, an earthquake, or a flood, to leave nothing abnormal in its course, as to expect a true Revival that is not accompanied by events quite out of our ordinary experience."
This book is a forgotten gem. Goforth documents the revivals he saw in the early 1900s during his time in China. This book is simply testimony after testimony of what the Lord did in China during Goforths time. This book is better than any theological book on revivals. I have learned so much from it. It's very easy to read, informative, convicting, and relatable. The final chapter is when Goforth steps back and gives his thoughts on revivals and the Church, it's a powerful little chapter. Highly recommend this book.
