The title alone of this book with its evocative cover scene is enough to engage the interest of any reader. But to discover that it is an account of evangelical revivals in Scotland between 1880 and 1940 adds an element of surprise to any initial interest.
Many will know of the great periods of spiritual ingathering into the Scottish churches: of Cambuslang in 1742, of the work of the Haldane brothers 50 years later, of revival under W.C. Burns and R.M. McCheyne in 1839 and the widespread quickening of 1859, but to discover a substantial 500-page volume describing relatively recent Scottish revivals is a rare delight.
