The account of a monumental revival that swept throughout the armies of the doomed Confederacy during the American Civil War. E. M. Bounds (whose books on prayer still have a mighty influence on Christians) was a Confederate soldier, and the vastly popular G.D. Watson was saved during this very revival. The author was the Superintendent of The Soldiers’ Tract Association (a Methodist evangelistic organization) and one of the army’s chaplains. Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians and Episcopalians labored side-by-side to gather in a great harvest of souls. This revival provided the spiritual impetus for many holiness preachers who went on to mightily influence the reunited nation after the war. Readers who have no interest in the War Between the States (as history) will nevertheless find great blessing in this account of a powerful revival. Sometimes heroic, sometimes filled with Victorian pathos, here is the greatest revival you never heard about, an awe-inspiring story of God’s grace at work amid the horrors of war.
