God's glory must be primary in our lives otherwise, what was all this about. One thing that stood out is the central place of prayer as we wait for and seek revival. Come lo When I saw an endorsement for this book by one of my favorite writers and thinkers, Ravi Zacharias, saying, 'The book that shaped me probably more dramatically than any other book that I have read So, mission accomplished--this book certainly challenged me as well to get in my prayer closet a la Matthew One of the main challenges of the book is that there aren't enough 'Paul's' or 'Jeremiah's' or 'Moses'.
Ravenhill wonders, 'Where have all the prophets gone? Very powerful, very profound. A man on fire for God speaking into our present need for revival today.
It would be easy for me to dismiss this book - for sentences like: 'Today we seem much more interested in having churches air-conditioned than prayer-conditioned. Though that particular one is my favorite! I honestly can't remember why I chose to read it. There was a surprising recommendation from somewhere. So, why does revival tarry? Because the Church is without the fire of the Spirit. Why is that? Because 'fire begets fire' and her preachers do not preach and minister This man is convinced of what he writes, that's for sure.
He is very serious about prayer and hates that so many people neglect it. The reason I gave this book three stars is because once you've read the first three chapters, you've read the whole book. Don't get me wrong! Those three chapters have great opportunity to change your prayer life.
They did mine. However, as a whole, the book could have been condensed quite a lot. I bought this book on a whim, simply because it has an endorsement by Ravi Zacharias stamped across the cover, 'The book that shaped me probably more dramatically than any other book that I have read The kind that's meant to wake you up in the midst of an emergency.
Good stuff here. Even if there are some things you disagree with in this book, time reading it is well spent. It is a book that puts fire in your bones, inspires you, and forces you to make a choice: renew your commitment to the Lord or stagnate where you are.
Any book that does that is worth reading! A masterpiece!!!! This book is so convicting. Ravenhill's love for revival can't be overstated, he was a giant of the faith that relayed ultimately on God. Ravenhill preaches it like a prophet and gives the reader all the vision one could ask for when it comes to prayer and connection to Jesus.
Could it be that there is no power in the church because we are connected to things other than Jesus. Because we rely on things other than Jesus. Because we trust things other than Jesus? Ravenhill cuts straight through to the heart. There's no playing games and flaunting theological insight, just a deep desire to see God's people take their walk with their Saviour seriously. This is a must read for all Christians that desire an authentic and radical walk with Jesus.
We invest our time as the world invests it. We're supposed to be a different breed of people. I believe that the church of Jesus Christ needs a new revelation of the majesty of God. The verdict is final. It is a fire in the Spirit, fed by the flame of Immortal Love; and woe unto us, if, through our negligence to stir up the Gift of God which is within us, that fire burns low.
We have adopted the convenient theory that the Bible is a Book to be explained, whereas first and foremost it is a Book to be believed and after that to be obeyed. Bypass us and take up a people who now know Thee not! Revival--What Saith the Scriptures? There Were Giants in the Church -- The Prayer Chamber Our Mirror -- Do We Want Another Pentecost?
