The Second Evangelical Awakening
THE SECOND EVANGELICAL AWAKENING - Popular Abridged Edition The appearance of Dr. Orr's book on the religious revival which began in 1857 and swept through the U.S.A. and Great Britain was greeted with enthusiasm on both sides of the Atlantic. As an authenticated and well documented account of events which played so great a part in the destiny of the American and British people it has become an essential book for the student of modern Church history. This edition has been revised and edited and contains most of the material in the earlier work without footnotes, etc. It is presented as an eminently readable story--"lively, well spiced with illustration" and of absorbing interest throughout. What the Press "Dr. Orr has put the whole Church in his debt by bringing before us the fact that all of what was best for men and of abiding value in the happenings of that period was the gift of the Holy Spirit, and the use of which He made of men and women who yielded to His guidance and direction."
-- Church of England Newspaper "The total impact of the evidence is tremendous"

Revival
America’s roots were watered with revivals. Our foundation was developed through the Reformation. The Great Awakening of the 1700s came and carried us through the Revolution. The Second Evangelical Awakening carried us through the Civil War and into the 20th Century. Yet few Christians know about it. This book is based on research and presents the power of the Spirit of God to move in the hearts of people. The author shows how some 2 million turned to Jesus in the 1850-60and this revival impacted the English speaking world for the next 50 years both in Britain and the US. In the current times, as tumultuous as they are, this book presents light in the darkness. Important read for both lay and pastors alike. Pray for a revival in our times.
