A God-Sized Vision

Revival Stories that Stretch and Stir

By: Collin Hansen, John D. Woodbridge

Narrated by: Adam Black

Can God stir revival by his Holy Spirit, even in our culture today? Do we really believe he can? In a day of diminished expectations, A God-Sized Vision: Revival Accounts That Stretch and Stir recounts global examples of prior revivals, beginning with the Reformation and the Great Awakenings. It continues with the Welsh and Azusa Street revivals and those that occurred simultaneously in Asia, followed by the East Africa Revival of the 1930s. More recent revivals in North America that instigated parachurch or evangelistic ministries like those of Billy Graham and the revivals in China, particularly in Henan Province over the last forty years, give further evidence of church renewal. These stories enlarge our hearts, expand our minds, and empower our witness to the power of God at work in human history. Christians with a deep evangelistic commitment who realize that there is more to church growth than field-tested techniques will expand their vision by remembering God’s vision, as it has been revealed throughout history. Hansen and Woodbridge mine these stories of renewal to suggest how to get ready for revival today.

Book is great, Reader is AI

This is an excellent book. It is well researched and theologically sound, and full of inspiring revival stories. However, the reader seems to be an AI. It frequently says names wrong and has the obvious non-emotional/non-real characteristic that accompanies AI readers.

A stirring global review of God's revivals

Comprehensive without being overburdened by details. The reader is a little monotone but often this comes down to personal taste.

A book worth reading again

Informative, engaging, and convicting! This was required reading for a church history course. I enjoyed it then and enjoyed rereading it several years later.

Beautiful Hope

Loved hearing the continued movement of The Holy Spirit throughout time and countries and the ever increasing number of believers with each movement. I also loved learning what it took to begin these movements, and one most important aspect was the Truly Humble Heart. The Narrator was clear and distinct and easy to listen to.
