The Price and Power of Revival by Duncan Campbell and published by Classics.
These few short chapters owe their origin to the spiritual awakening that swept Lewis-and-Harris, one of the Outer Hebrides Islands off the northwest coast of Scotland. To this island came Duncan Campbell in December, 1949, and he certainly was “a man sent from God.” The divine initiative and element in this movement are evident to all who know the sequence of events.
Whole communities were mightily moved as “God came,” and the following instance is typical of the scenes witnessed in the churches and in the homes of the people throughout the island: “... a crowded church, the service is over, the congregation reluctant to disperse stands outside the church in a silence that is tense, Suddenly a cry is heard within; a young man, burdened for the souls of his fellow men, is pouring out his soul in intercession.” This service continued until the small hours of the morning, but so great was the distress and so deep the hunger which gripped men and women that they refused to go home though others were already assembling in another part of the parish; and a number of those who now made their way to the church were moved by a power they had not before experienced.
Within a matter of days the whole parish was in the grip of a spiritual awakening. Churches became crowded, with services continuing until three o'clock in the morning. Work was largely put aside as young and old were made to face eternal realities.
