Scotland has arguably the most varied, colourful and longstanding history of evangelical revivals in the world. Focusing on the period between 1527-1857, Tom Lennie provides an illuminating account of many an exciting time.
No nation on earth has a richer, more colourful, or more long-standing heritage of evangelical awakenings than Scotland. This is the thoroughly absorbing and largely untold story Scotland's long-standing heritage that includes the first comprehensive account of the 1930 'Laymen's revival' in Lewis.
Many today may be discouraged by the condition of Christianity in Scotland, while unaware of its powerful legacy.Following on from Glory in the Glen and Land of Many Revivals, Scotland Ablaze continues Tom Lennie's compelling historical series on Scottish revival movements. Lennie here focuses on the inspiring period from 1858-79 in which much of Scotland was spiritually awakened, affecting every Scottish county.In three parts, Lennie guides us meticulously through the origins of the 1859-61 revival and each area affected, then goes on to chronicle a series of little-known revival after-waves that continued through the 1860s and early '70s, and finally the remarkable evangelistic campaign of Moody and Sankey, in which many have discerned the holy breath of authentic revival.Through this deeply encouraging and fascinating read, may we not only see the power and impact of God's work in our history, but may we excitedly anticipate His miraculous work in our future.
Revival history expert sorts fact from myth in the story of one of the best known revivals Scotland has played host to a vast array of religious revivals over the course of its history, but by far the best known of these is the Lewis Revival of 1949-52 (also known as the Hebrides revival). The stories around it are extraordinary, with the Spirit working in the lives of many people across this Scottish island. There have been, however, rumours and myths that have grown up around the stories of the Lewis Revival, that did not actually occur. Revival history expert, Tom Lennie, examines the eye witness accounts and sorts the amazing true story from the exaggerations that have become entangled. The story of the revival that truly occurred is based on overwhelming evidence. Its essence was powerful preaching, based on God's word. It was a remarkable, life changing event for hundreds of individuals, and that still has an impact today.
