There is no greater issue facing the Church of Jesus Christ at this time than the subject of Holy Spirit revival. However, divine sovereignty does not relieve us of our human responsibility. Are there things we are doing wrong, or not doing, that may be hindering the coming of revival?

Why Revival Waits looks at what revival really is. Using what Selwyn calls 'God's final and finished formula on the subject' - the text of 2 Chronicles 7:14 - he helps us discover what part we need to play in facing up to this challenge. 'If my people...' If we would ... humble ourselves ... pray ... seek His face ... turn from our wicked ways ... then He will hear, forgive and heal our land! So Selwyn calls us to report for duty in the battle for our nation's soul.
