God’s Glorious Work: Jonathan Edwards on Revival (Annotated)

Book Introduction

What is true revival? How do we experience God’s glorious work? Intrigued by experimental religion in the revival movement of the 18th century in America, Jonathan Edwards wrote his observations. Based on the Scriptures, Edwards points out the nature of true revival, the principles of discerning the work of the Holy Spirit, and how believers respond to the work of God.

True revival is a movement initiated by the Holy Spirit to awaken dormant faith and restore godly living. This book can guide us to reflect on the foundation of our faith, respond to the divine call, and embark on a journey of revival of our spiritual life.
