Has anyone read any good books about the history of revival? I'm after one that covers a number of them rather than one than focuses on one. I'd be grateful to be pointed in the right direction.ThanksButters
Brother,This is a tremendous question. I will share a few of my recommendations, I am sure many other saints have others they have read.These are just a few recommendations on general overview of many revivals:Revival Fire by Wesley L. Duewelhttp://www.amazon.com/Revival-Fire-Wesley-L-Duewel-ebook/dp/B003SNJPV6/Handbook of Revivals by Henry C. Fishhttp://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Revivals-Henry-C-Fish-ebook/dp/B005VVDZ64/Revival: Principles to Change the World by Winkie Pratneyhttp://www.amazon.com/Revival-Principles-Change-Winkie-Pratney/dp/1931393036/(this one is very large and hard to read but covers many revivals, well documented)Historical Collections of Accounts of Revival by John Gillieshttp://www.amazon.ca/Historical-Collections-Accounts-Revival-Gillies/dp/0851513255some other books on the topic of revival but not as much on many accounts of various revivals.The Revival We Need by Oswald J. Smithhttp://www.kingsleypress.com/the-revival-we-need-by-oswald-j-smith.htmlRevival God's Way by Leonard Ravenhillhttp://www.kingsleypress.com/revival-gods-way-by-leonard-ravenhill.htmlRevival Praying by Leonard Ravenhillhttp://www.kingsleypress.com/revival-praying-by-leonard-ravenhill.htmlWhy Revival Tarries by Leonard Ravenhillhttp://www.kingsleypress.com/why-revival-tarries-by-leonard-ravenhill.htmlSome other good books on revival:http://www.kingsleypress.com/books-on-revival.html

In the Man Of God Video (conversation with Leonard Ravenhill), Ravenhill list several books that deal with past revivals. I believe that video is on this site. It is also on YouTube.
