George Whitfield, John Wesley, Howell Harris, Duncan Matheson and Asahel Nettleton: five evangelists who preached the sovereignty of God in salvation, changed their societies and witnessed real revival under their ministries.
What are the marks of true revival? Using careful documentation and specific examples from Scripture and history, author John Armstrong gives us a picture of how true revival takes place and tells how we can prepare our own lives for those times.
John Armstrong knows from personal experience how easy it is to put too much emphasis on correct teaching in our experience of church—and how easily we lose sight of the love on which Christ built his church when we do so.

“I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message. I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me” (John 17:20-21, NLT). For most Christians these words of Jesus seem like an unreachable ideal. Or they promise spiritual unity without a visible demonstration between real people. Some even read these words with a sense of fear seeing this text used for a compromise agenda. How should we understand this prayer offered for all who follow Jesus? What if Jesus really intended for the world to “believe” the gos...
Around the world sexual misconduct is knocking ministers from their ministry. As the numbers grow it is crucial to know what should happen to them - for their good and for the good of the Church.
Nearly 500 years after the Protestant Reformation, the gulf that once separated Roman Catholics and evangelicals seems to be shrinking. As we unite to battle our common enemy, secular humanism, we find ourselves on the same side of many theological issues. Armstrong presents a fascinating study of Catholic doctrines and practices, carefully weighing each in the balance of Scripture.
