For All Christians Who Yearn for Revival God's Way

This no-compromise biblical clarion call to revival is timeless. Leonard Ravenhill clearly shows how the church can be brought from where it is to where it ought to be. The church still needs his message, first published in 1983, for as Ravenhill said, "We live in a generation which has never known revival God's way." The message is drastic, fearless, and often radical. His goal for the church is nothing less than full restoration to the glory, power, holiness, and dignity that Christ intended for it.

I liked the book, especially the poetry was very good. A lot of points were good.

BUT.....

Maybe it is because I am a Catholic, but the author seems very comfortable with condemning a whole array of people as heretics and very bad sinners. At the same time, he also praises a wide variety of Christian views.

This seems extremely schizophrenic to me. Hypocritical even. If the author is of the opinion that a wide variety of views can all be somewhat true, who is he to judge what views are true and which ones are not?

The topic is revival of the church. But what church exactly? some vague collection of believers.
But not just any believers, the author makes that clear too. Only real believers.

So what believers can make it according to this author? People who compete at believing as hard as they can.

How to do it? By working yourself up into a frenzy. By preaching better sermons. By forcing yourself to pray longer and more intense, but not vain repitition. By pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps.

The author seems to think revival in some outward expressions of emotions is the goal, when at the same time he rejects traditions and piety. He is condemning the heresy while at the same time pointing towards the path that leads towards the very same heresy as if this path is the answer.

He seems to praise a number of protestant denominations, but then continues to denounce others without making it clear what his standards are.

He claims orthodoxy while firmly believing orthodoxy has no real rules.

He condemns traditions as faith of men, blind and stupid. But then he pedestalises preachers, as if hearing a better and better sermons would save us. Yes, it is important. But what brings us to God is the priest. The holiness. The act of participation in the celebration of the sacraments. Not listening to your favourite preacher. Not driving 500 miles to listen to a slightly better preacher.

He condemns quiet faith as too timid, but then his answer points to a number of "revivals". All local, all a fierce fire that peters out soon after, all some overly dramatic outward expression of emotional outbursts. And I am not condemning that, but that is not what the church needs. The church needs revival, yes, but not in this sense. It needs to become foremost again in the hearts and minds of people. It needs to be our center, our sanctified place, both in the world as well as in our hearts.

Despite all that, he does deliver top notch Christian poetry. He does deliver some interesting stuff. I will look at his poetry some more.

I loved the poetry
