Flashpoints of Revival: History's Mighty Revivals

Using eyewitness accounts, Geoff Waugh takes you inside the hearts and minds of people in revivals spanning the last three centuries. Beginning with the Moravians in 1727, this book gives first person reports of revivals in Europe, America, Canada, Africa, India, Korea, Chile and more, including recent revivals.

Dr C Peter Wagner, wrote in the foreword:
 
Geoff Waugh and I agree that our generation is likely to be an eye witness to the greatest outpouring of the Holy Spirit that history has ever known.  Many others join us in this expectation, some of them sensing that it will come in the next few years.
 
Here in America, it seems to me that I have heard more reports of revival-like activity in the past three years than in the previous thirty. This has caused revival to be a more frequent topic of Christian conversation than I have ever seen. There is an extraordinary hunger for learning more about how the hand of God works in revival.
 
That is a major reason why Flashpoints of Revival is such a timely book.  Christian libraries are well stocked with detailed accounts of certain revivals as well as scholarly analytical histories of revival. But I know of no other book like this one that provides rapid-fire, easy-to-read, factual literary snapshots of virtually every well-known revival since Pentecost.
 
As I read this book, I was thrilled to see how God has been so mightily at work in so many different times and places.  I felt like I had grasped the overall picture of revival for the first time, and I was moved to pray that God, indeed, would allow me not to be just an observer, but rather a literal participant in the worldwide outpouring that will soon come.  As you read the book, I am sure you will be saying the same thing.

4a recommended read  Aug 27, 2000
By Tom (scotgar @ hotmail.com)
Mr Waugh has done his research well, and offers a fascinating little study of revival history throughout the centuries and across continents. Unlike many such studies though, this author concentrates not on those great 18th and 19th Century awakenings, but on revivals of the 20th Century. Some of these are not well known at all, so his information is most appreciated, eg Solomon Island in the 1970's, amongst Australian Aboriginees in the 1980's, etc. He does spend an awful lot of time focusing on 'renewal' in the 1990's (eg Toronto), which many, including myself, would not include in the category of true historical revival. Apart from this, this is a most worthwhile read indeed.

5Excellent Survey  Jun 24, 2009
By Philip Waugh
This book gives the story of well known and also lesser known revivals of the Holy Spirit. At first I was expecting a critical analysis of strengths and weaknesses, or discussion of what controversies arose. Yet the strength of this book is that it welcomes the many forms of revival and the always new ways in which God decides to act. In the end you are left with a feeling that God is constantly doing new and otherwise impossible things, and a feeling that more is around the corner. Informative and encouraging. A subject that we should be examining with greater priority.

5Handbook for revival history  Aug 06, 2008
By Martin Mitchell
This is a great reference book providing information of when, where and how God has touched regions and people groups with his manifest presence over history. Many of these events are included and reported on providing the reader with an overview and insight into when revival has broken out and its impact on people, church and society.
