Michael Haykin stokes a passion for revival by investigating the history of spiritual renewal in the Reformed tradition. After presenting the Reformation and English Puritanism as episodes of revival, Haykin focuses our attention on two particular moments of renewal: the transatlantic Great Awakening in the mid-eighteenth century and the revival of the Particular Baptists in the British and Irish archipelago at the close of the eighteenth century. This study reveals a helpful paradigm for thinking about revival and provides principles for understanding this all-important subject. It is hoped that this book will stimulate ardent prayer for God to revive His church in the midst of these trying times.
