FIRE FROM HEAVEN
Times of extraordinary revival
By Paul E.G. Cook. Evangelical Press. 143 pages. £8.99
ISBN 978-0-85234-709-6

This is a hugely stimulating survey of outbreaks of revival in Britain in the period 1791-1840.

In particular, the reader is given a marvellous selection of eyewitness accounts of what God did in these years among the ordinary people of Cornwall and the North of England. Where did all those 19th-century nonconformist chapels, now standing empty, despised or derelict in many towns, come from? This book will tell you the wonderful story.
