Description
Watchman Nee called it the greatest known revival in church history. On 31 October 1904, Evan Roberts, a twenty-six-year-old former miner, returned home from a ministry training programme, having left at the urging of the Holy Spirit. That night, he joined sixteen other young people at a village chapel, and from that humble origin sprang a spiritual revival that roared across the hills and valleys of Wales. Thousands of souls were welcomed into God s kingdom. Even the press could not ignore the changes occurring and eagerly reported on Roberts every move.As suddenly as he had appeared, Roberts vanished from the world stage, only to re-emerge twenty years later. What happened? How did God work so miraculously?Jessie Penn-Lewis was well-acquainted with the revival, and with its leader, Evan Roberts. Her clear and concise history of the events of that time remains a treasure for all those who pray for revival to return in our day.80 pages
