An excellent account.,

This review is from: Sounds from Heaven: The Revival on the Isle of Lewis, 1949-1952 (Paperback)
I found this to be an excellent book, which left me longing for a fresh visitation on the nation from God. The main focus of the book is the revival on the Isle of Lewis from 1949-1952. The book is divided into two parts. The first part gives an account of what happened during revival years. There is some background information on religion on Lewis up until that time, which gives us insight into some other revivals on the island, (such as in 1939). Naturally, the life and ministry of Duncan Campbell (they key figure in this movement) is outlined and we get some of his brief reports of what was going on at the different venues where he visited. There are chapters describing some of the incidents and characteristics of the revival, and we see that even during times of revival, problems can still arise and opposition can still come.
The second half of the book is devoted to a series of personal testimonies - 24 in all- of those who personally experienced the revivals. Some of these are quite thrilling and warm the heart. I would have liked to have seen some more critical analysis on the life and ministry of Duncan Campbell, and the book doesn't answer all questions that we might ask, such as, why this revival did not spread. Nevertheless, there has been much thorough research done and lots of fresh material for us to study. If you are interested in the subject of revival or are keen to explore some of the important happenings in Scottish church history, then I recommend you get hold of this book.

This review is from: Sounds from Heaven: The Revival on the Isle of Lewis, 1949-1952 (Paperback)
This is a beautiful book written with simplicity truth and enclosed a variety of aspects including peoples personal recollections of this glorious move of God in the island on Lewis in the early fifties I have been privileged to meet one or two people from that time and the book has enriched my life in a wonderful way. To me it is a book that should be read by every pastor or leader in the country whose desires is to pray and seek Him for revival in there community. I have read this book time and time again and I am often moved to tears to read from it. I trust this book will become a best seller in the coming years and deserves to be on the bookshelf of every professing believer because it will enrich your life beyond measure and introduce you to something of the glorious depth that God took the believers to in this time. Whole communities where transformed and I give all the praise and glory to God for that. Read enjoy be challenged and may the book be a pivotal moment in your life for a greater sense of urgency to pray and seek His purposes for the future.

This review is from: Sounds from Heaven: The Revival on the Isle of Lewis, 1949-1952 (Paperback)
This has got to be one the best contemporary accounts of revival available. It has excellent eye witness testimonies, first hand accounts, insights, in fact it has answers to nearly every question you might have about revival.
It is well written, down to earth, easy to read and tremendously enlightening to anyone to whom revival is a mystery.
