Carriers of the Fire: The Women of the Welsh Revival 1904/5 their impact then, their challenge now...

by Karen Lowe

This is the untold story of a Revival outpouring that changed the lives of women across a whole nation. Housewives became radical evangelists determined to reach the despised and the broken. Young girls became teenage revivalists. Chapel soloists became inspired worship leaders carrying the heart of the national song. Silenced women found their voice as fiery preachers.
Teams of men and women were released across the UK. Signs and wonders in the skies were reported in the national press along side the prayers of previously hidden women. The religious establishment was shaken as young girls played their part as heaven broke through to earth and 100,000 came to faith in a few short months and the fires of revival were carried to the nations.

About the author

Swansea born, where my mum's family live, we moved to Shropshire, my father's home county, when I was five. I studied English, French & German for a BA, University of London, and worked as a secretary in the West End until moving back to Shropshire to bring up a family. I have written for children, with stories broadcast on BBC TV's Playschool, and published three collections of crossword books before turning to crime. I have now published two novels, Death in the Physic Garden and Death in the Winter Garden, which feature my garden designer heroine, Fern Green, and are set in Shropshire and the Welsh borders. As well as my passion for gardening, I love crafts of all sorts, and I create templates for use with the Craft Robo and Cameo electronic cutters. Having rediscovered patchwork and quilting, I have a new series of cozy crime fiction, The Quilt Detective. Patchwork of Poison is the first in the series, with Motif for Murder due for publication shortly.

Powerful. It’s time for women to be set free for the Kingdom of God to be proclaimed.

I’ve always been interested in the history of the Welsh revival of 1904. Many Morgans were instrumental in it and that is my surname. It did not disappoint. Very inspirational,
