Bestselling Author and Missionary Rolland Baker Reveals the Heart of True, Lasting Revival"There has been much talk in recent years of revival," says bestselling author and missionary Rolland Baker, "so much so that I wonder at times whether revival itself has become the object of devotion."Too often believers seek out revival, not the Reviver. When unchecked, they often pursue an emotional or physical experience or focus on how many came to Christ, rather than worship Jesus himself. Yet the heart of true, lasting revival is Christ--of falling in love with him so deeply that you can't help but tell others about him. And that, says Baker, is what has fueled him, his wife, Heidi, and all of Iris Ministries over the last thirty years."This book is about sustaining revival over decades," says Baker. "By that I mean it is a book about falling in love and staying in love with the person of Jesus Christ. Revival is about the Reviver, nothing more and nothing less. My prayer is that you will fall in love with him with all your heart as you read these pages, and that you will not be able to resist giving that love away, wherever you place your feet."

Every reader will find incredible challenge and refreshment in these pages.

After spending many years ministering exclusively in Mozambique, Rolland and Heidi now travel internationally, teaching others about the simplicity of "passion and compassion" in the ministry of the Gospel.

«Det Gud har gjort gjennom sin Ånds salvelse over livene til Rolland og Heidi Baker, er i sannhet et mirakel. Jeg kjenner ikke til noe annet arbeid som er så rent og så motivert av medfølelsen i Guds hjerte. Denne fortellingen handler ikke bare om hvordan Gud tar 14 mennesker og én menighet, og på fem år gjør den til over 6000 menigheter. Dette er fortellingen om hvordan Gud har forberedt sine utvalgte redskaper til den sterke, trosbaserte tjenesten som nå ryster tolv land i det sørlige Afrika.» Randy Clark . Global Awakening
