These few short chapters owe their origin to the spiritual awakening that swept Lewis-and-Harris, one of the Outer Hebrides Islands off the northwest coast of Scotland, during 1940-1953.
Can God stir revival by his Holy Spirit, even in our culture today? Do we really believe he can? In a day of diminished expectations, A God-Sized Vision: Revival Accounts That Stretch and Stir recounts global examples of prior revivals, beginning with the Reformation and the Great Awakenings. It continues with the Welsh and Azusa Street revivals and those that occurred simultaneously in Asia, followed by the East Africa Revival of the 1930s. More recent revivals in North America that instigated parachurch or evangelistic ministries like those of Billy Graham and the revivals in China, particularly in Henan Province over the last forty years, give further evidence of church renewal. These stories enlarge our hearts, expand our minds, and empower our witness to the power of God at work in human history. Christians with a deep evangelistic commitment who realize that there is more to church growth than field-tested techniques will expand their vision by remembering God’s vision, as it has been revealed throughout history. Hansen and Woodbridge mine these stories of renewal to suggest how to get ready for revival today.

“Oh, that You would rend the heavens! That You would come down!” Millions have prayed that, and pray it now. In the Day of Thy Power is filled with plentiful quotations from eyewitnesses of revival and with inescapable biblical authority for such “times of refreshing . . . from the presence of the Lord.” It unfolds the conditions by which God still comes, as in apostolic days, with “mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God.” This first book of Arthur Wallis, written in 1956, was an immediate success when first published and has become a classic on the subject of revival.
