Justice, compassion, liberating the oppressed, this book contrasts our common middle class lives
with Jesus' concern over our response to the marginalised and the poor. "The poor in our communities actually represent Jesus and our response to them says a great deal about our response to the Lord himself." Prepare for revival. Pray. Engage in community like Jesus did with the woman at the well, not introducing himself as THE LORD OF THE UNIVERSE but rather as a humble traveler asking for her help with water and prioritizing having a discussion about life with this woman who was likely discounted by the whole of society. Lots of underlining. Lots of looking up references and historical texts as I read this book.

Wonderful book.

Without doubt one of the best books I have read on the subject of revival. I have read many books on Christian revival and revivals, but found Greig’s approach helpful, informative and accessible. It is dated in places, but this does not detract from the author’s overall approach to the subject.
