About this audiobook
This is an updated edition of a book written by Missionary and evangelist Roy Hession in 1950 in which he profiles the nature of religious revival and lays out the prerequisites and consequences of the activity of God in the heart of the hungry seeker.Roy Hession (1908-1992) was a British evangelist and author. Hession was born in London in 1908. He was educated at Aldenham School where his introduction to religion led him to expect "anything but boredom" from God. He was very much influenced by their strong emphasis on a personal implementation of the basics of the Christian faith, in particular the healing powers of openness and repentance. His preaching subsequently incorporated these new insights. This brought criticism because of its introspective element, from some he had previously worked with, but it was much appreciated by many Christians on both sides of the Atlantic. Roy Hession died in 1992 but he is remembered for his infectious enthusiasm and his humor, but above all for his unwavering stand on the principles of repentance and grace that had become so precious to him.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A very inspiring book on what must be in place for revival. From this book and from accounts of historic revivals, the answer is repentance and confession. According to Hession, the first thing that happens when we sin is to try and hide what we are thereby losing our fellowship with God. "The only real fellowship with God and man is to live out in the open with both," says Hession. Spurgeon defines this kind of openess as "the willingness to know and be known." Although revival is greatly needed in the church, Hession believes this openess must be first lived out in the home where it is the most difficult to accomplish. Hession suggests that we find one person with whom we can drop the mask and thereby experience relief of confession to God and man and restoration of fellowship with both. From there move out and include others in this circle of complete honesty. This is not an easy way to live, requiring much humiliation and brokenness, but will bring about a freedom of living far above where most of us are. It may also do away with the need for the psychiatrist and mind altering drugs.
