The last great spiritual awakening in our times was not in Toronto or Pensacola (although these locations experienced a lot of fanfare), but on a little known island off the west coast of Scotland. This book brought to us by our friends at Christian Focus and written by eye witnesses of the revival is indeed a marvelous gift to spiritually hungering people who long to see biblical, Christ-exalting, life altering, and community changing revival. This book retells the period of spiritual awakening around the ministry of the Presbyterian minister, Duncan Campbell, yet predating him and certainly overriding him in that it was a work of a Sovereign God and not any single person.
The standards by which genuine revival must pass the muster such as the long lasting spiritual and moral impact, clearly confirm the authenticity of this movement of God. I agree with William Mackenzie the managing editor of Christian Focus: ‘This book describes things that are not part of my experience.” But, may God see fit to visit our churches in such a way to bring genuine repentance and conversion that would transform a whole community. I long to see such a reality.
