| This book gives a vivid account of events in and around the small
Scottish town of Cambuslang in the spring and summer of 1742. Many
hundreds of people came to faith after experiencing the power of God’s
Holy Spirit who revealed to them their condition before God and the
saving work of Christ available through His death. Although many of
those saved were from a nominally Christian background others had
lived previously in open rebellion to God. The book’s contents
are drawn mainly from the diaries of the Rev. William McCulloch, the
minister of the church in Cambuslang and contemporary letters written
by many of those whom the revival touched, both lay persons and clergy.
Whilst the language is in places rather old fashioned the modern reader
cannot fail to be struck particularly by the accounts of some the
very ordinary people involved. Chapters 10 and 11 tell often in their
own words how the events in Cambuslang changed them completely. |
