The Complete Life of Evan Roberts 1878-1951 - Excellent !

For nine months - between November 1904 and August 1905 - God anointed and used a twenty-six-year-old coal miner named Evan Roberts to channel a stunning revival movement of the Holy Spirit that has profoundly influenced the course of the Church both in Wales and the world. Few, however, know that Evan Roberts subsequently suffered a breakdown and withdrew to a solitary ministry of prayer before he later was once again called.Generations later, the questions persist: What motivated Evan Roberts? What was his family background like and how was he prepared for his mission? Did he ever marry? Did he go on to pastor, become a missonary, or a writer? After the revival, did he in fact backslide or lose his mind altogether?This book answers these and even more vital questions that reveal the anatomy of a genuine, earth-shaking revival - and the demands it places on its human conduits.Contents:1.

What a wonderful book!

I understand that this book is now out of print - but if you are lucky enough to get your hands on this book - you're blessed. In my opinion it is the best book on the life of Evan Roberts. So many books only tell half the story, but the author of this book has done an incredible job of telling the REST of Evan Roberts' story. IT didn't end with the revival.It will also make your heart burn - may God raise up others in Wales such as Evan Roberts who will catalyse a move of God such as Wales saw at the turn of the last century!

Very Comprehensive!

The Welsh Revival of 1904 is one of the most fascinating of the many experienced in Wales. Evan Roberts is a challenge to the modern pulpiteer in that he was not as well educated or experienced, but he was simply a man whose heart was ablaze for CHRIST. Mr. Jones did a superb job on the entire life of this unique man. I recommend it for it imparts vision and also warning of the enemy's tactics to destroy revival and the ones whom GOD uses. He showed the changes in Evan's life and heart that transpired through the years, yet he clearly showed us that Evan's heart never stopped beating for heaven sent revival!
