I'm currently reading ... 'Why Revival Tarries' by Leonard Ravenhill



I have long been of the opinion that the late Leonard Ravenhill was a man with a particularly anointed ministry. He was fearless when it came to pointing the church in the right direction and exposing the many faults of today's all-too-often wealth obsessed evangelists and those who preached non-gospels from the pulpits which they were privileged to preach from. 


Leonard Ravenhill was, above all, a man of god who was a prayer warrior in the truest sense. He recognised that if you truly desire to be all that God calls you to be then you need to plug into the power source constantly, and the only method of doing that is by fervent prayer.


The call for Revival is more of a whisper these days, possibly, I believe, because Revival would upset the worldly aspirations of so many who claim to be followers of Christ. In this book, Leonard Ravenhill outlines the reasons why Revival seems to remain something in the distant past, and he pulls no punches and takes no prisoners in his indictment of the ministry practises and the lack of true commitment to the cause of the Gospel.


Why Revival Tarries has been around for many years, and it has influenced many who seek for a better means of serving the Lord. If you have not yet read it then I urge you to do so without further delay, for if you read it prayerfully you will find it life-changing, for it's a book that is both inspiring and inspirational.
