Why Revival Tarries (book reading - 20 sessions)
Obviously I am going to participate. If you want to participate in this 20 session reading of the book post a reply so we know all who are interested and that will be reading it together.
Most deffinately :) One of the most amazing books I've ever been blessed to be able to read.
Do we need the latest book that has the study questions in it or will an older copy work?Thanks!
I will read it, but I don't like to write that much.( I strugle with my spelling.) I do think reading and studiing (even bible study) together is very good for every comunity even a "online" comunity. May God bless every one thru this!!
Do we need the latest book that has the study questions in it or will an older copy work?excellent question. No, you will not need the newer book. I will be posting the questions found in the back of the book and you can read any version of "Why Revival Tarries" to follow along. Even people that do not read the book can still participate in the discussions but I think it would be more suitable if people do pick up this book. Hopefully some will be reading this book for the first time!
Hi Corneliu I will read it, but I don't like to write that much.(I strugle with my spelling.) Here is a great help in this regard;http://www.iespell.com/Once it's installed it is really simple to use, once you finish writing you can just right click and the option comes up in your window for "Check Spelling". It has been just a tremendous help.Will join in this here as well. Looking forward to what comes about from everyone.
I am in. I have the new copy so I am ready to go -- in fact I already read it once so this will be great to read it again and get some feedback.Blessings.
tremendous brother, I am glad to see all of this response. Hopefully more people will join in.
Put me on the listDiane

Praise God,I am really exciting about doing this and looking into some of the pictures and quotes that ravenhill paints for us in his book. May God stir out hearts to renewed prayer and intercession for revival in our life and the world through these readings.
I want to join but I am still searching for the book. :-o My dad says he has two copies of it and I have not been able to find either one. Lord willing I will be able to take part. I have never read the book and am anxious to do so. :-)
Hi There!I see you quote JO Frazer. His daughter Eileen Crossman lives in South Carolina. Her husband Douglas Crossman is probably the best preacher I have ever listened to. Some people say, Eileen is an even better preacher. She will be the guest speaker at a women's retreat that Melenie is organizing in the Fall next year. I first heard Douglas at the AEB in Cape Town where I met Keith Daniel. Eileen was interned by the Japanese in China during WWII for four years.God bless!Albert(My virtual Bible study is doing fine. We're studying the life of Joseph. This book discussion idea is a kind of virtual study. I'd rather study scripture than a book, regardless of how good the book is. However, I'm sure a lot of Scripture will be covered as Ravenhill is so steeped in Scripture)
Praise God, we already have 8 people interested in doing this study.
Hey, anyone financially short, I'll buy ya the book and send it to you (only in america, cause it could take forever for you to receive it in another country)Just PM me your address and you'll receive it within the next 5 days of my reply to you.So, no one will be left out ;-)
If I get a copy in time, count me in!When do you think the discussion will start?-ChrisEDIT: I just saw the original thread - sorry. I got so excited about this I didn't think to look on another thread! :-)
We will probably start in a few more days. Everyone can still join in with the first chapter questions without the book. I went and picked it up from a bookstore in town 2 days ago.
I found it! PTL! It was in a box in the basement. :-) I am looking forward to this and will start reading today. When will you post the first questions?
You can count me in Greg. I own the book and have read it, but it will be good to go back and study with my family from SI :-) .
When will you post the first questions?We should be starting in a few days stay tuned and tell others.
Wow! You're so full of great ideas! YES - I didn't miss this one! I started reading this book but didn't end up finishing. I know I did take some notes from what I did read. This is great because now I can read it all the way through! I will encourage Christians on my xanga and My Space to join this. I'll post up links right now. [smile]
I invited people on the GNN boards (the Great News Network) as well -http://www.thegreatnews.com (I know you don't like website references, Greg, but there are many that probably have no idea what GNN is)
yes thats fine brother, I think it would be great if some of those brothers and sisters got involved in this reading and interaction study.
Wow! This is going to be BIG study group.
Hopefully bigger. It would be great to have 20-30 people doing this! reply to this if you feel you want to do this and have the book.
Greg, what about modifying that banner you have at the beginning of this thread to be posted on webpages friendly to SI.com that will link to info about this discussion when clicked on?Just a thought...-Chris
Chris,Perhaps for this time it will be more of an SI discussion but later on I could try to run it as an larger feature for people to signup for it from anywhere. And get people to advertise it. People are welcome to save that image and use it to link to the discussion if they want.I am really getting excited about what God is going to do with this discussion group, change us Lord we don't want to be the same.
I got a copy of the book again, count me in. When we looking at starting?
It is looking like probably friday or saturday. So today or tommorow. I am very much looking forward to it also.
Greg,I am interested in joining this discussion. I have read about 2/3's of the book about a year ago and it is one that you have to read slowly.I believe that corporate wide revival starts personally and I need a personal revival in my own life first so I am hopefully to grow spiritually in this discussion.Blessings,Doug Renz
dougkristenI totally agree with you concerning personal revival. It starts with us. And I believe we can't copy the revivals in other people's lives. The Holy Spirit needs to do a new, unique one in each one of us.
Yes true yolanda each life is different before God but revival is coming to the same Jesus and recieiving the fullness of that relationship. I think its going to be great to study this book online here may we all be brought to God in a new way.
If anyone else wants to join into this book discussion group reply to this post and let us know.
Hi everyone,I'd like join this group. I've never read the book- so this will be great for me.ThanksMary
Great mary! try and get a copy if you can ASAP. keep checking this thread for the beginning of the study, I should be starting it tommorow.
I am getting excited, though I won't have the book until the 13th or so.Does anyone know if it's online as a pdf for temporary reading?-Chris
The first few pages of the book are here:http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0871236079/ref=sib_dp_pt/103-0137970-6010234#reader-pageI have a few bookazine photocopies of an old copy of the book, if anyone can't afford the book I can send them copy of that. private message me with this need.
The Chapter one questions has been posted here.I am very much looking forward to reading and responding also to these questions, may God make it a time or revelation in the knoweldge of Him.
Trying to get my Christian friends on My Space involved in this. I posted your awesome image on my front page so hopefully it will catch the attention of people who visit My Space and they'll join us. I also posted a bulletin to all my friends too. This is exciting!GregYou were right when you added that revival is all of us coming to the same Jesus and receiving the fullness of that relationship with Him.
I just posted the 2nd session here: Session 2 - Prayer Grasps Eternity.
I just posted the 3rd session here: Session 3 - A Call for Unction in the Pulpit - Action in the Pew
Hey all! - I would love to join this group. I am truly amazed at the soverign hand of God in bringing me here. I was at Half price books yesterday and ran across this book on revival.. i have never heard of it or the author but thought it looked good so i grabed it... it was only 4 bucks. And then today was searching for a Helen Roseveare sermon and stumbled on this site... I do belive that God is trying to grow and teach me things from this discussion... i am so excited to begin!

Any particular reason the study has stopped? If it isn't going to be continued could someone please send me the rest of the study questions? I don't have the newer version of the book, my copy is rather old. :-) Thanks!
Hi Roniya,It's been on a hiatus...Greg was out going across the country with Jesse (Lazurus) and has just recently returned here to California, resuming his schooling. We had talked about this a week or so ago and once he get's settled in we should be able to pick up where we left off.
Any particular reason the study has stopped? If it isn't going to be continued could someone please send me the rest of the study questionsI am sorry for the stopping and delay in this study. I was also enjoying answering the questions also. I am going to be starting back up the study asap. I have had abit of a problem getting a computer space in the library in the school, do pray it works out. Thanks saints.
Are we ever going to finish this?
