In this book we are taken to the heart of the Welsh Revival through a variety of eyewitness reports penned by some well-known ministers and writers of the day. It includes a sketch of Evan Roberts and his 'Message to the World.' Published in 1905 these pages helped fan the flame of authentic revival to many other locations around the globe.

This 96 page biography of Evan Roberts is one of the best introductions available on this amazing man and the Welsh Revival in which was the principal revivalist. Written by an eye-witness in 1906 (one of the earliest books on Roberts), it is filled with vibrant and stirring accounts of those mighty days of power at the beginning of the 20th century. It is an extremely rare work.

From the Author, "I am a child of the Revival of 1859-60. I have witnessed the Revival in South Wales, and it is borne in upon me that I must testify as to what I have seen and know. . . . . I cannot keep silent. Woe is me if I bear not my testimony, and bear it now! For never is it so true as in times of Revival that Now is the accepted time. Now is the day of salvation. "

W. T. Stead was obviously moved by his personal knowledge of the Revival and he used his name and his position as editor of the Pall Mall Gazette to propagate the movement.

This is his most definitive work on the revival, which includes a chapter on Evan Roberts.

W. T. Stead (1849-1912) was a well-known journalist and editor who supported several major social causes, including education for all, women's right's, the curse of child prostitution, the repeal of oppressive government legislation together with organisations like the Salvation Army.

This particular pamphlet introduces his thoughts on the Welsh Revival which he personally observed, and includes thoughts on the Torrey and Alexander mission to Liverpool in November 1904. He also includes a chapter on Gypsy Smith, the evangelist.

The author gathered together various authentic reports that were written in the early months of the Welsh Revival with the express purpose of stirring up Christians to increased faith and prayer.

Along with all the other popular accounts, S. B. Shaw succeeded in his task and set the world aflame with a holy desire to seek more of God.

Church leaders in Khasia, India, had long been concerned about nominalism in the churches and missions and many had given themselves to prayer for a fresh outpouring of the Spirit in the years that preceded the revival of 1905.

On the first day of 1904 the words ‘This will be a year of the right hand of the Most High’ came into the mind of Ellen Hughes. Many others witnessed such sentiments throughout the year and in December 1904, when news of the Welsh Revival began to break prayer meetings reached a ‘red-hot stage.’

Then the revival wave crashed on the shores of India. This is its story.

The name of Jessie Penn-Lewis often occurs in works related to the Welsh revival of 1904, not surprisingly, as she was a major chronicler of the movement. She wrote an article each week in the "The Life of Faith," tracing the course of the spiritual movement first throughout Wales, and then through many lands and by many individuals. She contributed to a number of periodicals and produced her own history of the revival called 'The Awakening in Wales - and Some of its Hidden Springs.'

Written in 1909 this book claims to be a more critical and scholarly work than any others published before it, a claim which is well substantiated by its contents. Indiscriminate enthusiasts will baulk at some of the authors comments and conclusions, but any authentic work of God can stand the scrutiny of analysis and observation which is conducted in a spiritual and constructive manner. In fact, any real work of the Holy Spirit is quite unaffected, even by an antagonistic and sometimes aggressive critic.

This was a very popular introduction to the Welsh Revival for many years, though currently out of print. It is the based on a lecture given by the author on three continents and claims to be a simple, unvarnished report form someone 'fully conversant with all its facts.'

Written in 1906 this volume provides a series of impressions and incidences that occurred during the Welsh Revival.

Though it is historically accurate it is more devotional in its aim, seeking to inspire as well as to educate. An enjoyable and helpful book.

"The Revival of 1904 - Some of its Hidden Springs and Prominent Results"

This book is a very popular and stirring account of the Welsh Revival that happened in Wales in 1904-5. It was written by R.B. Jones, Principal of South Wales Bible Training Institute, Porth, Wales, where the book was first published in 1931.

Please note this book is also available on the Welsh Revival CD collection.

This book contains some vivid pen sketches of seven of the principal leaders that were used during the Welsh Revival including Evan Roberts, Joseph Jenkins, R. B. Jones, W. W. Lewis, Seth Joshua, W. S. Jones and Keri Evans.

A helpful, if small, contribution to the revival literature of the period.

These two mighty evangelists played a great part in the spiritual formation of Evan Roberts, as well as in the preparation of the Principality of Wales before the outbreak of Revival in November, 1904. They were itinerant evangelists who held effective missions throughout Wales and beyond her borders, before and after the great Revival. Seth Joshua is best know for his direct influence on Evan Roberts at Newcastle-Emlyn in September, 1904. He spoke at a meeting which Evan Roberts attended. The young Evan heard the evangelist pray "Lord, bend us". The Holy Spirit said to Evan, "That's what you need". At the following meeting Evan experienced a powerful filling with the Holy Spirit. "I felt ablaze with the desire to go through the length and breadth of Wales to tell of the Saviour". Many see this as the beginning of the Revival.

We know little of the author of this work, except that he penned this, the first of a six-part series. The copy we have was taken from a photocopied article in the Sunday Companion. The date is unknown. When we find the other five we will add them to this collection. This lively account was penned in 1905 when the revival was still powerfully affecting the Principality, making it a very lively account.

We also know that J. Tudor Rees was a lawyer from London and that he toured Canada and America in early 1906 to propagate the message of the Welsh Revival, accompanied by Gwilym O. Griffiths and Dewi Michael, a preacher and singer, respectively.

This was the most extensive biography written about Evan Roberts until Brynmor Pierce-Jones produced 'An Instrument of Revival' in 1995. Nevertheless, there is nothing quite like this comprehensive 542-page appraisal of Evan Roberts life and ministry, written by a keen supporter and admirer of the Revivalist. Daniel M. Phillips, a minister himself and often a companion of Evan Roberts on many of his journeys, produced this elaborate and often grandiose view of the young missioner, with such zeal that many will consider it an embellished overstatement. However, it has always been the standard work on Evan Roberts and it is essential reading for serious students today.

It was Wednesday 29th March, 1905 that Evan Roberts began his only mission outside of Wales, in the city of Liverpool, where scores of thousands of Welsh people lived. He laboured there almost three weeks and it is estimated that 750 converts joined the churches as a result of his ministry. Each evening of the campaign Gwylim Hughes hurriedly wrote a short sketch of his observations of the meetings and telegraphed them to the South Wales Daily News, 170 miles away. This very rare book comprises these eighteen vibrant and first-hand sketches.

A 32-page pamphlet written by "Awstin" of the Western Mail.

The "Western Mail," a popular newspaper during the Welsh Revival, assigned various reporters to chronicle it's progress each day. The principle reporter was Mr. T. Davies, commonly known by his pen-name ‘Awstin.’ The reporters were eye witnesses and were generally very sympathetic to the movement. Their articles were collected into six 32-page pamphlets of which this is the first. These pamphlets make very fascinating reading as they follow the ministry and travels of Evan Roberts. They are essential reading for all those studying the grass-roots activities of those glorious days.

This very short book of just 96 pages records the revival which came to Assam, India, south of the eastern Himalayas, in the wake of the Welsh revival of 1904-5.

It is very simply written and gives one of the few personal glimpses of the glorious outpouring that occurred in a predominantly Hindu culture.

News of the Australian revival in 1903 and the Welsh revival of 1904 ignited prayer for revival across India and the results were astounding.
