The Great Awakenings - Book 1
The flames of revival are sweeping the land, no more dramatically than in New York City—but not everybody welcomes the spiritual awakening!
The flames of revival are sweeping the land, no more dramatically than in New York City—but not everybody welcomes the spiritual awakening!
When his daughter experiences a life-changing conversion to Christianity, a celebrated New York attorney takes the Holy Spirit to court in an attempt to win her back. With a hand-picked jury and a sympathetic judge, the atheistic attorney sues the church in which his daughter was saved, accusing them of teaching fictional religious concepts that will undermine America. In a dramatic courtroom thriller, a young defense attorney — boyfriend to the daughter and former intern to the celebrated lawyer — defends the church by attempting to prove the Holy Spirit exists, only to discover that the Holy Spirit is fully capable of proving himself.
For this series it was a privilege to work with my co-author, the late Bill Bright. We spent two days together talking about and praying for national revival, and choosing the historical settings for the books. He was excited about adding historical fiction to his ministry outreach. Unfortunately, he passed away before the first novel was released. My final communication with him came in the form of a thank you card he sent me with the following inscription:
It is Easter day and I am rejoicing in our Lord’s resurrection. I am also well into your book, Beyond the Sacred Page. It is excellent! — Dr. Bill Bright, Campus Crusade for Christ
Dr. Bright was founder and chairman of Campus Crusade for Christ International. He was a best-selling author of more than one hundred books and booklets including: Come Help Change the World, A Man Without Equal, and Have You Heard of the Four Spiritual Laws? which has distributed more than 2.5 billion copies.
