The Asbury Revival: Interview with Mark R. Elliott [Video]

https://seedbed.com/takenbysurpriseLearn more about the revival, order the bookThe remarkable revival at Asbury University in 2023 started with a routine chapel service. On that morning in February, a group of students chose to linger after their Wednesday hour of prayer, and so began a movement of the Spirit that didn’t cease for another two weeks. What started with spontaneous worship and calls to renewal in the lives of college students turned into tens of thousands of pilgrims making their way to a small town in the middle of Kentucky, which then spilled over onto campuses across America and awakenings across the globe. In Taken by Surprise: The Asbury Revival of 2023, Mark R. Elliott writes as the seasoned historian he is—diving into the what, when, and how behind the revival that may very well be the first of its kind in our digital era.Read an interview with Mark Elliott here:https://seedbed.com/taken-by-surprise-interview-with-mark-elliott-on-the-asbury-revival/Perfect for:+ Personal study for those interested in spiritual awakenings, revivals, renewal+ Those working with emerging adults and younger generations+ Church historians interested in the Asbury Revival+ Pastors praying for awakening in their communities+ Groups hoping to read and learn from inspiring accounts of awakeningIn these pages you’ll:+ Learn about the 2023 Asbury Revival in Wilmore, Kentucky+ Read firsthand accounts about the outpouring+ Understand some of the spiritual, social, leadership, and logistical dynamics involved+ Be encouraged to posture your heart for awakening in your heart, home, church, cityEndorsements:————————-Mark Elliott, a well-trained historian with a thorough knowledge of Asbury University’s record of earlier awakenings, is perfectly positioned to offer this balanced, superbly researched, insightful, but still probing account of the much-publicized revival that took place at Asbury in February 2023.–Mark Noll is the author of A History of Christianity in the United States and Canada (2nd ed., 2019) and America’s Book: The Rise and Decline of a Bible Civilization, 1794-1911 (2022).https://seedbed.com/takenbysurprise
