Revival is not a miracle, but a focused, working effort to renew the church.
This book explains what a revival is and why active, practical steps are essential. It argues that real growth comes from aggressive, communal effort, not waiting for signs to appear. Drawing on historical and pastoral insight, it shows how measured action, preaching, and lay involvement shape lasting renewal.
You’ll find a clear framework for understanding revival, including the role of prayer, preaching Jesus, class meetings, and nurturing new believers. The author emphasizes making the church a reading, working community that lives out faith in everyday life. The text also discusses how the pulpit and the people must team up to move toward spiritual vitality and outreach.
