Book Description
What in the world has gone wrong, and how will it be set right? America is in a moral and economic crisis. Political action by itself will not reverse this moral and economic decline. In times past, Christian revivals occurred before a crisis in American history, such as the Revolutionary and the Civil War. What were the characteristics of Christian revivals in past history? Can a national revival happen again, or are we too close to the end times? Prophetic events relate in practicality to revival in the church today because the believers hope lies in the future revelation of the genuine Christ. History is repeating itself. Neo-democracy, leading to an imperial form of the continuing Roman Empire, is the rising form of government today, and it will rule at the end of the age. Arguments will be given for the identity of the genuine Christ. The order of prophetic events will be delineated leading to the genuine new age, along with the events that follow, such as the rebellion of Satan and the Great White Throne Judgment.

How can we stop the evil of human trafficking? What can turn the rising tide of opioid addiction? What will cure the epidemic of fatherless homes? Man-made laws and policies don't hold the answers.

Book Description
Excerpt from May We Hope for a Great Revival? Within the last twelve months the Church of Christ in America has been visited with an extraordinary quickening. For once the embankments by which religious matter is shutout from the channels of secular intelligence were broken in; and even daily papers teemed with accounts of revivals and conversions. This great event has not been without its effect upon ourselves. Aspirations after a similar work of grace which existed before have been awakened afresh. On every hand good men may be heard asking one another, May we hope for a great revival? Some, it is true, not less desirous of the extension of Christ's kingdom than others, shrink from the idea of a revival, lest it Should be attended with extravagance, and bring forth none but ephemeral fruits. Some months ago two Ministers of the Gospel met on the top of an omnibus within a few miles of this city. Their con versation soon turned upon the remarkable news weekly coming from the religious bodies of America; and one of them ex pressed a hope that we might witness something similar amongst ourselves. The other replied, I have no faith in revivals; they do not leave any permanent results. Many years ago in the city of E I witnessed what appeared for the time to be a very powerful revival, but in a little while all the fruit of it had passed away. In the city of E P re joined his friend. Several years ago, - was it about. The time of the first visitation of the cholera? He learned that it was. And all the fruits disappeared? Completely, was the reply. It's strange, he said, that in a distant mission field I knew two Missionaries, both of whom had been con verted in that revival.

Book Description
A fresh look at the earliest Christian movement reveals what made the new faith so compelling...and what we need to change today to make it so again. Once upon a time there was a version of the Christian faith that was practically irresistible. After all, what could be more so than the gospel that Jesus ushered in? Why, then, isn't it the same with Christianity today? Author and pastor Andy Stanley is deeply concerned with the present-day church and its future. He believes that many of the solutions to our issues can be found by investigating our roots. In Irresistible, Andy chronicles what made the early Jesus Movement so compelling, resilient, and irresistible by answering these questions: What did first-century Christians know that we don't—about God's Word, about their lives, about love? What did they do that we're not doing? What makes Christianity so resistible in today's culture? What needs to change in order to repeat the growth our faith had at its beginning? Many people who leave or disparage the faith cite reasons that have less to do with Jesus than with the conduct of his followers. It's time to hit pause and consider the faith modeled by our first-century brothers and sisters who had no official Bible, no status, and little chance of survival. It's time to embrace the version of faith that initiated—against all human odds—a chain of events resulting in the most significant and extensive cultural transformation the world has ever seen. This is a version of Christianity we must remember and re-embrace if we want to be salt and light in an increasingly savorless and dark world.

Book Description
God has always been interested in turning unlikely people into his most fervent followers. Prostitutes and pagans, tax collectors and tricksters. The more unlikely, the more it seemed to please God and to demonstrate his power, might, and mercy. America in the 1960s and 1970s was full of unlikely people--men and women who had rejected the stuffy religion of their parents' generation, who didn't follow the rules, didn't fit in. The perfect setting for the greatest spiritual awakening of the 20th century. With passion and purpose, Greg Laurie and Ellen Vaughn tell the amazing true story of the Jesus Movement, an extraordinary time of mass revival, renewal, and reconciliation. Setting fascinating personal stories within the context of one of the most tumultuous times in modern history, the authors draw important parallels with our own time of spiritual apathy or outright hostility, offering hope for the next generation of unlikely believers--and for the next great American revival. Those who lived through the Jesus Revolution will find here an inspiring reminder of the times and people that shaped their lives and faith. Younger readers will discover a forgotten part of recent American history and, along with it, a reason to believe that God is not finished with their generation.
