1. 2000 Years of Charismatic Christianity by Eddie L. Hyatt
2000 Years of Charismatic Christianity offers convincing evidence that the modern Pentecostal and Charismatic movements are rooted in the two-thousand-year history of the church. Those who identify with these movements will be affirmed in the experience of the Holy Spirit and will gain a new respect and appreciation for the movement of which they are a part. Those outside the Pentecostal and Charismatic movements will also benefit by reading this volume in that they will gain an understanding of this movement that Harvard professor Dr. Harvey Cox says is "reshaping religion in the 21st century."

2. Dynamics of Spiritual Life By Richard F. Lovelace

Richard Lovelace gives a history of spiritual renewals in light of biblical models. Isolating the elements of live orthodoxy, he proposes a comprehensive approach to renewal. Lovelace looks at such practical issues as renewal of the local congregation, the ways revivals go wrong, the evangelical thrust toward church unity, and Christian approaches to the arts and to social concern.

4. Rivers of Revival bt Neil T. Anderson and Elmer Towns

Rivers of Revival answers the question many Christians are asking: "What will it take to see revival?" What will it take for a spiritual revival to sweep the nation? Anderson explains how believers must first experience an individual revival before widespread renewal can happen. Only then, says Towns, can a "Power Encounter," "Prayer Evangelism," and five other forms of outreach bring souls streaming to God. You can make the river rise---starting now!
