Negative Positive
Title: Very limited in scope
Review: While there are quite a few instances of revival recounted in this book, it appears to include only certain "approved" accounts of revival which have been sanitized for your protection. George Whitefield and Charles Finney are there, of course, along with many others throughout the world up to recent times. Interestingly enough, there is no mention of the Azusa street revival, or any of leaders of the healing revival in the 1940's. Even the account of the revival in Andrew Murray's church neglects to mention that the outburst of prayer happened to be praying in tongues... it would certainly seem as though this book's author does not approve of THAT kind of revival. There are some good revival stories in this book, but the limited definition of revival makes it very redundant and after a while, the stories becoming boring in their similarity.
Is the review positive or negative?
