Description

Scotland's rich heritage of evangelical awakenings is a story waiting to be told. Until now, most historical studies have stopped at the Moody & Sankey Revival of 1873-74, leaving out many exciting revivals that took place in between. Tom Lennie sets the record straight, revealing that religious awakenings were relatively common in Scotland during this period. Through meticulous research and personal interviews, Lennie sheds new light on the Awakenings in the Outer Hebrides and North East fishing communities, as well as revivals amongst children, students, and Pentecostals. One of the most fascinating stories he uncovers is that of the 1930s 'Laymen's Revival' in Lewis, a movement that may have been even more powerful than the later Lewis Revival. Glory in the Glen is a thoroughly absorbing account of Scotland's evangelical heritage, drawing on hundreds of source materials and never-before-published research. This book tells a largely untold story, one that will appeal to anyone interested in Scottish history, Christianity, or the power of revival.
