In this deeply-challenging book John Peters revisits the life and ministry effect of many well-known revivalists.

Whilst revival is, by its very definition, a 'sovereign, supernatural movement of the Holy Spirit and a pouring out of His life and power', it is only possible, in one sense, through the human agency of men and women. God's choice in this respect is as sovereign as is His initiation of revival. So leaders of revival are chosen by God, and are His instruments to achieve His will and purpose. Each revivalist is indeed born 'for such a time as this'.

Twenty-five key revivalists are featured. Following each biography, John Peters provides a synopsis of the outstanding qualities and characteristics of the person's life, together with a challenge as to how we can learn from them ourselves and a prayer of personal commitment.
