"Now at last, a full-length treatment of revivals in America from the earliest settlement to the present. Instead of focusing narrowly on an isolated period or specific evangelist, Seasons of Refreshing traces the entire development of modern mass evangelism and the spiritual awakenings associated with it." "After a brief review of the church's growth from Pentecost to the Puritans, the author leads us on an "errand in the wilderness" and examines the early "harvests" under Stoddard. Frelinghuysen, Edwards, Whitefield and the Wesleys, Finney, Moody, Sunday - all forming an unbroken chain leading up to the present activities of Billy Graham and Luis Palau."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
