The Great Awakening

If you have ever wondered about the omnipresence of God, this text is a great expression of how God can be and speak with clarity the same message in two different places at the same time. How is God able to speak to you Monday through Friday on particular matters and then on Sunday the message is an echo of what God has been saying all week long? The Great Awakening is what happens when two kings collide, commit and champion the proclamation of the gospel during the most challenging times of our lives. Each chapter and text, though preached hundreds of miles apart in the same season, provides insight to historical events with profound present day implications. This book does more than inform. It empowers. It awakens its readers to the possibilities of life behind a closed door, an open grave, a processing pall and a sealed tomb! Reverend John H.
