In this series of essays, Dave Butts shows us what true revival is and how much the church today needs it. But he doesn't leave us there. He leads us into the principles of praying for revival, inspiring us to intercede for ourselves and our congregations in a way that will prepare us for when God shows up. "I suggest to you that revival is not strange or mystical. It is simply the church waking up to the presence of Christ in her midst. It is almost as though God reaches out and slaps us, and we wake up and realize God is there. That is what revival is. It is God shaking us. It is God waking us up. And we recognize that Jesus really is here."--Dave Butts
