Renewal - October 1996
Bert Osborn, who wrote Fire in the Hills, the story of the East African revival, went to Rwanda as a missionary and found that the revival had ceased there. He concluded that revivals have a purpose and that God intends each revival to end when this is fulfilled. His book offers a theory of revival and is demanding in its conclusions. In a genuine revival, he claims, the whole of a society is evangelised, becoming aware of the claims of Jesus.
David Parratt - European Christian Bookstore Journal, October 1996
The first half of this book is a review of revivals around the world over the last 300 years, including the one in East Africa, where the author was personally involved. His purpose is to show that revival is 'God's Spotlight', showing us what are the key elements of the Christian life, the things we should be majoring on whether we are living in revival times or not.
