Useful insight into Revivals in the South Pacific region Jan 27, 2011
By Blue Yonder
The cover's the immediate attraction with this book - beautiful Pacific Island image......Nice large format size book, too.
Geoff Waugh has been fascinated with Christian revivals since he was a young man, so it's no big surprise that he should conduct some research into these fascinating phenomena 'down under' in the South Pacific area, as he has travelled and worked in many of these islands over several decades. His other recent book, 'Looking to Jesus: A Journey Into Renewal & Revival' is another book worth checking out, being essentially an auto-biography of the author.
'South Pacific Revivals' gives some very illuminating information about numerous little-known revivals in the region, as well as a number of charismatic movements, one or two of which I personally wouldn't necessarily term 'revivals', but many will find to be of much interest nonetheless, because of the phenomena exhibited and the passion aroused, etc. Unfortunately, very little information is included on revival movements prior to 1950 - were there very few prior to this date? Still, a surprising number of movements after that date are provided - including islands and places I had never before heard of! A number of remarkable personal testimonies are included, and some black and white photos are dotted throughout the book.
Some useful appendices are included, such as 'Characteristics of Revivals from Acts 2' and 'Examples of Repentance and Revival'.
If you're interested in revivals, this is a book you're going to want to get.
