Sermons preached at Westminster Chapel in 1959, the centenary of the 1859 revivals in Wales, Ulster and America, published by Crossway in 1987. Lloyd-Jones describes what revival is, why it is needed, the hindrances to it, and how the church should pray for it, drawing on the history of past awakenings.
