Book Description
The following is a brief description of the prevailing spiritual and moral tides that were washing over much of Europe and America in the early eighteenth century—God’s “righteous name had been intolerably dishonored, his pure and holy word disregarded by incompetent or unconverted clergy, and the human family, created to glorify God and enjoy him forever, willfully and with abandon gave themselves to all manner of corruption.” These were despairing times—with striking similarities to our present day. And yet, in the midst of this seemingly hopeless era, the omnipotent God did what no man alone could accomplish: he restored the honor due to his great name, and exalted the power of his holy word through a revival that set ablaze two spiritually parched continents—God Walked Among the Nations! The pulpit was powerfully revived, men and women by the tens of thousands were soundly converted, and biblical renewal and social reformation flourished throughout the land. Do you wonder if a revival so vast in scope that it produces extraordinary biblical, moral, and social reformation throughout your nation is even possible? If you’re pondering this question, then it is time to read about the glorious event best known as the First Great Awakening and renew your hope.

Book Description
When Jesus ascended to heaven and sat down at the right hand of God the Father, He poured out His Holy Spirit at Pentecost. This significant historical and redemptive event was not the last time Christ poured out His Spirit in redemptive history. Mindful of these subsequent acts, Pentecostal Outpourings , presents historical research on revivals in the Reformed tradition during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Investigating the British Isles, it observes the outpourings experienced among Welsh Calvinistic Methodists, Irish Dissenters, Calvinistic English Baptists, and Scottish Presbyterians. It then moves on to evaluate the revival instincts among Presbyterians, Congregationalists, Baptists, and the Dutch Reformed in America. May the knowledge of these outpourings of the Holy Spirit help us seek God earnestly to revive His Church once again. Table of Contents: Preface - Steve Lawson I. Revival in the British Isles 1.

The Kingdom of God and the Yellow Barn Church
Author: Doug Hickerson
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595392563
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 104
Book Description
All his life, author Doug Hickerson repeated "Thy Kingdom come" in the Lord's Prayer. Yet, God's kingdom seemed irrelevant to him, even as a seminary student and a church layman. Hickerson was a liberal Protestant, active in a mainline denominational church and in community causes. He became curious about spiritual paths to God beyond the Church. While in his midfifties and still active in his church, he started a spiritual journey that included exploring other religions and spirituality. Steeped in the popular "New Age" spirituality of the 1990s, he wrote about the coming new millennium. He felt that humankind was evolving spiritually and was headed for an enlightened utopia, the "Age of Aquarius." His humanistic visions ended abruptly when he met families who belonged to "the yellow barn church" in his village. In their fellowship, it became clear that God-not man-is in control and lovingly rules our destiny. He awakened to the Kingdom of God present now on earth with its fulfillment yet to come. At age sixty-eight, Hickerson's life-changing experience in the evangelical Church and in God's kingdom is deeply personal and grounded in the Bible and solid theology. The warm and at times humorous narrative in The Kingdom of God and the Yellow Barn Church details God's providence and promptings over Hickerson's lifetime.
