Island Aflame

Revival history expert filters fact from fiction in the story of one of the best-known revivals. Scotland has played host to a vast array of religious revivals over the course of its history, but by far the best known of these is the Lewis Revival of 1949-52 (also known as the Hebrides revival). The stories around it are extraordinary, with the Spirit working in the lives of many people across this Scottish island. There have been, however, rumours and myths that have grown up around the stories of the Lewis Revival, that did not actually occur. Revival history expert, Tom Lennie, examines the eyewitness accounts and untangles the amazing true story from the exaggerations that it has been caught up in. With an evidence-based approach to the story, Lennie walks readers through the Revival in six sections: Revival island Barvas breakout Revival extended Revival in focus Revival controversy Post revival In essence, powerful preaching, based on God's word sparked a life changing event for hundreds of individuals, and that still has an impact today.
