Book Description
Learn more about Andrew Murray and others who spearheaded the Holy Spirit Revival at the Cape. Although the Great Awakening at the Cape in 1860 was as powerful as its precursors in America, Ireland and Wales, its story has never been fully told until now. Dr. Olea Nel has succeeded in filling a much needed gap in the literature by describing these events through the lives of three key players: Andrew Murray, Nicolaas Hofmeyr and Gottlieb van der Lingen. As the story unfolds, you will learn: About the crisis in the Dutch Reformed Church prior to revival when semi-literate stock farmers believed that God had called them to subdue the African tribes, not evangelize them. How virtually overnight the revival demolished this outlook so that awakened Christians became people of prayer and mission enthusiasts. How Andrew Murray defended the Church against the onslaught of liberalism through legal battles in the Cape High Court as well as the Privy Council, London.

Book Description
Time and again throughout history, there were times that circumstances have been as difficult as we now experience them. People began to cry out to God in desperation, and suddenly, God was there! As we read different accounts of revival, it is noticeable that revival nearly always comes suddenly and unexpectedly. Even in cases where there were years of preparation, in the end, revival broke out suddenly and unexpectedly. So, even after years of preaching, prayer and evangelism, revival remains one of God's 'sudden' moments.It is also noticeable that many revivals start in the most unlikely of places, and that God may use the most unlikely of people. With but a few exceptions, revival either starts during a time of great spiritual darkness, or it precedes a time of great turmoil and darkness.Those who have experienced revival, testify that during revival, more happens in one week or in one month, than during years of effort in non-revival times. Recounting revival stories always touches people deeply, and it creates a hunger in Christians for God to do the same in their church, city and country.May this account of documented South African Revivals stir hope in our hearts for it again to happen in our lifetime.

Book Description
First published in 1992, this title explores the religious diversity of South Africa, organizing it into a single coherent narrative and providing the first comparative study and introduction to the topic. David Chidester emphasizes the fact that the complex distinctive character of South African religious life has taken shape with a particular economic, social and political context, and pays special attention to the creativity of people who have suffered under conquest, colonialism and apartheid. With an overview of African traditional religion, Christian missions, and African innovations during the nineteenth century, this reissue will be of great value to students of religious studies, South African history, anthropology, sociology, and political studies.

Book Description
Rebecca's Revival is the remarkable story of a Caribbean woman--a slave turned evangelist--who helped inspire the rise of black Christianity in the Atlantic world. All but unknown today, Rebecca Protten left an enduring influence on African-American religion and society. Born in 1718, Protten had a childhood conversion experience, gained her freedom from bondage, and joined a group of German proselytizers from the Moravian Church. She embarked on an itinerant mission, preaching to hundreds of the enslaved Africans of St. Thomas, a Danish sugar colony in the West Indies. Laboring in obscurity and weathering persecution from hostile planters, Protten and other black preachers created the earliest African Protestant congregation in the Americas. Protten's eventful life--the recruiting of converts, an interracial marriage, a trial on charges of blasphemy and inciting of slaves, travels to Germany and West Africa--placed her on the cusp of an emerging international Afro-Atlantic evangelicalism. Her career provides a unique lens on this prophetic movement that would soon sweep through the slave quarters of the Caribbean and North America, radically transforming African-American culture. Jon Sensbach has pieced together this forgotten life of a black visionary from German, Danish, and Dutch records, including letters in Protten's own hand, to create an astounding tale of one woman's freedom amidst the slave trade. Protten's life, with its evangelical efforts on three continents, reveals the dynamic relations of the Atlantic world and affords great insight into the ways black Christianity developed in the New World.
