Cycles of Revival Claude T Stauffer

Our nation and this world are in dire need of revival. Godlessness, division, corruption, immorality, depression, and violence are pervasive. These are all indicators of a need for revival. Cycles of Revival is a study of he Old Testament book of Judges where we see Israel decline and move away from God, suffer disciplinary oppression, followed by repentance and God's deliverance through a judge who ushers in a revival of the nation. There are 12 judges used by God to lead 12 cycles of revival in the book of Judges. Deborah, Gideon, Samson are among the better known. We will learn about revival from observing these cycles, but we will also learn about revival from character studies of the judges in this book. What is the way to revival? What deters revival? There questions and others will be addressed. In our study we will also see that revival is a work of God and in particular the Holy Spirit. An entire chapter is devoted to the work of the Holy Spirit in revival. Lastly, the final chapters of Judges provides us with 14 indicators of when a revival is needed. Interspersed throughout Cycles of Revival are quotes from noted revivalists who shed light on the nature of revival and the people God revives. If you're hungering to be personally revived and see a revival of the church and its surrounding community, Cycles of Revival is a must read for you.
