| This book is a review of American history from the perspective of the nations experience of revival. It presents every major revival movement from the time of the early colonists to the days of Moody and Sankey. An excellent volume for an overview or introduction to American revivals. "Scarcely can a more memorable exhibition of God be found than that presented by a revival of religion. Historians seldom take note of so obscure an event; yet if the secret connections of revivals with the destiny of nations could be disclosed, they would appear to be more critical evolutions of history than the Gothic invasions. A volume has been compiled, narrating the decisive battles of the world. But more significant than this, and probing deeper the Divine government of the world, would be the history of revivals."--Austin Phelps. |  |
