Spontaneous Revivals : Asbury College 1905-2006, Firsthand Accounts of Lives Transformed

What happens when students get on their knees, asking God to move among them? What follows after an encounter with God? Questions like these and others are answered in these pages. Over the last century, a smattering of students at a liberal arts college in the Bluegrass of Kentucky have petitioned heaven. This was not at the direction of the college administration, but an outgrowth of spiritually hungry hearts. God answered dramatically—not once, but multiple times—forming an epicenter that impacted thousands of lives, and on occasion hundreds of other colleges and churches across the nation. As Billy Graham followed the progress of one outpouring, he purportedly wondered if it could be the beginning of another Great Awakening. Relive these stories through the eyes of students and faculty and others who were there, including E. Stanley Jones, Dennis Kinlaw, Robert E. Coleman, Bill Bright, Paul A. Rader, and more. A dozen spontaneous revivals are highlighted from 1905 to 2006 at Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky. These are personal experiences with lasting effect on the lives of many. In reading them, you will be encouraged and inspired. Follow the example of these students and seek God earnestly. God is waiting. God will meet us.“Someone needed to give attention to the century-long sweep of the revivals. Readers will be glad Bob did.” — Dr. Robert Coleman, Master Plan of Evangelism, One Divine Moment
