Philip and the Revival in Samaria

by Lecturer in Philosophy Geoffrey Thomas

What does it mean to be filled with the Holy Spirit and is this something that is true of all Christians? What kind of person does God delight to use in the work of his kingdom? What is revival? Is it a sovereign work of God by his Spirit or merely the result of evangelistic activity on the part of zealous Christians? Is God as concerned to save a single individual as a whole city of people? These are just some of the issues Geoff Thomas deals with in this popular, thought-provoking, and soul-stirring study of Philip the Evangelist and the great Samaritan awakening, recorded in Acts chapter 8.

If you've ever hear Geoff Thomas preach, this book reads like a sermon of his. It's chocked full of great stories, clear biblical theology, and aimed at the heart of the reader. It's not a classic by any means, but it does merit a read. I thoroughly enjoyed all four of the chapters, though I thought the chapter primarily on the Holy Spirit was an excellent portion of the book. It's a little basic in some spots, which isn't a bad thing of course, but it felt like he repeated himself now and then. His grasp of Welsh church history is great too with examples of Daniel Rowland and others through the work. It won't take you long to get this book read, but your soul will thank you for the food!
