[UPDATED EDITION]. Where are the fiery prophets of today - the piercing Revivalists of old? Why do we have "gold dust", feathers, "holy laughter" and Charismatic chaos, instead of weeping and deep repentance? In this book, Revival preacher Andrew Strom tells of what he saw and why he left the modern Prophetic movement after eleven years' involvement. And how the announcement of his leaving shook the movement.What is real Revival? And how does it differ from what we are seeing? What are real prophets of God supposed to be like? And how do you discern true signs and wonders from the false? All these questions and more are answered in this provocative book.Andrew Strom is founder of "RevivalSchool-com" and editor of the international Revival List. For many years he was known as a "publisher of the prophets" - until his shock announcement in 2004 that he was publicly quitting the movement. This is his story why.FROM THE REVIEWS: "This book left me in tears, weeping for a restoration of the true gospel and with such a yearning to see real revival in our nation..."
It all began with a Radio show and an email - when Andrew Strom was invited onto a Christian radio station to discuss the growing phenomenon of "Out-of-church Christians" - the fact that seemingly tens of thousands of dedicated believers are leaving the churches. But why? That same week he published an article on the subject on his international Email List. The result was an absolute deluge of responses from all over the world - literally thousands. Christian Pollster George Barna has stated that the number of unchurched adults in America is growing by a staggering ONE MILLION people per year. Barna's research has also found that there are more than 13 million 'Born Again' believers in America who do not attend church. Why is this trend growing? Why are thousands upon thousands of devoted Christians leaving the churches? Is it a 'movement'? And why is it occurring in so many different parts of the world? This is a book that every Christian leader should read. Hear from dozens of believers who have left - and why. Are there solutions to this crisis? A book for everyone concerned about the future of Western Christianity - and where it is heading today.
Andrew Strom is an international author and speaker - as well as a bass guitarist with a long history of involvement in Christian music, video, promotion, recording, and Youth ministry. In this hard-hitting book he asks some very pointed questions about today's Christian music and Youth culture. For instance: When Christianity becomes just like the world is it still Christianity? When we feel we have to entertain and entertain in order to get people into our meetings, is Jesus still at the center? When we become desperate to be seen as "cool" or 'relevant' to the worldy culture all around us, does it affect the gospel we preach? When we feel we have to tone down the use of the word "Jesus" in our music or the word "sin" in our preaching, isn't this blatant compromise? And when our Christian Youth seem to care just as much about fashion, extreme sports, looking 'cool' and being entertained as the worldy kids around them, is it true Christianity at all? If you care about these issues and the answers to these questions, then you need to read this penetrating book.
Charles Finney is renowned as one of the most anointed revivalists in history. He saw over half a million people converted during his ministry, but he was much more than just an evangelist. He was a piercing 'repentance' preacher in the mold of John the Baptist. He was bold, he was direct, and the power of God was upon his preaching - the like of which had rarely been seen before. Wherever he went, the Holy Spirit was outpoured with great power. People would fall on their faces before God in deep repentance. Sometimes the crying and sobbing was so loud that he had to stop preaching. Sometimes half-way through his message, the people would begin to fall down before God under great conviction of sin. And at times the awesome holiness and presence of God would come down upon the entire town. In this book, Finney himself recounts some of the most powerful revivals that ever occurred in his ministry. The old-fashioned phrasing has been updated so that the modern reader can pick up the full impact of what he is saying. Prepare to have your life totally transformed as you read this inspiring book.
