In Christian history, no phenomenon is clearer than the recurrence of revivals. A passion for repentance sweeps across a city and those who had been unaware of the supernatural are now keenly aware of God’s presence. Gripped by conviction of wrongdoing, they throw everything aside and desperately search for a way of salvation.

Our spiritual instincts are often clouded by worthless pursuits, but God is working through His laws for the salvation of His people and for the world’s good.

Edited for today’s reader by Tom Phillips, Laws of Revival, written by James Burns in 1909, traces
common characteristics of past revivals but shows us how our world today is ripe for a new, profound movement of God’s Spirit.
