| "if my people...." DEMONSTRATING THE SPIRIT'S POWER IN REVIVAL A CASE STUDY OF REVIVAL AND ITS LESSONS IN BALLYMENA
DR. WILLIAM FLEMING The 1958 Ahoghill revival in Ballymena, Northern Ireland in some ways echoed the 1859 Ulster revival but it was a specific instance where God demonstrated the power of the Holy Spirit in a special localised way. The full story of this revival has never before been fully reported but here it is told by the minister whose church experienced the revival; and who was personally involved in it. As you read you are caught up in the story of a church gripped by supernatural forces. It is a thrilling story, a captivating story, a challenging story - a story that grasps our soul and makes us long for a similar demonstration in our own churches. William Fleming also looks at some of the outworking of the revival, like the Irish Revival Fellowship, and the biblical precedents for what happened. The whole subject of revival is examined to give us a better understanding of God's sovereignty in bringing revival to the church. "This book is valuable because of the understanding given to the author about revivals generally. From time to time questions are asked, objections raised and reservations expressed about revival. Dr. Fleming does not hesitate to deal with such difficulties, and there are helpful comments about the nature of revival...."
