Revive Us Again: Biblical Insights for Encouraging Spiritual Renewal by Walter C. Kaiser Jr. My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is the 2nd time I have read this book. The first time was November 2002. It is a devotional-meditative resource on "Revival and Reformation" that is not about techniques on rousing enthusiasm in a church. Instead, it is a clear call to deep repentance, vivacious prayer, restoring the place of Biblical preaching, and longingly seeking the face of God - the God and Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Whether one is a Calvinist or an Arminian; Pentecostal or Presbyterian; a Prayerbook man or a "Spirit-Filled" person: This is an essential, thought-provoking, prayer-rousing book. I unreservedly recommend it - especially to Pastors, Elders and Church leaders. View all my reviews

There God tells Isaiah not to be shaped by the fears of his society. ...
