Publisher's Description

God Is Up to Something Big The Bible dedicates more space to prophecy than to any other subject. These prophetic portions of Scripture have received an enormous amount of literary attention throughout the history of the church. Over the past fifty years alone countless books have been written about the biggest global trends of our day and whether they are signs of the coming end times. But one sign has been inexplicably neglected— revival. Wallace Henley believes such a spiritual awakening is not only possible today but probable—and likely a harbinger of the end times. Where are we on the timeline of human history? Are we approaching the rapture of the church? Henley presents a meticulously researched and compelling case that the Welsh Revival and the historical cycle revealed in God’s redemptive interactions with nations, make it highly likely that our contemporary world is ripe for the lightning of another revival. Henley is confident that we will be a part of that worldwide event, perhaps moving all creation nearer to its sudden glorious conclusion and rebirth.

“A refreshment and challenge to my soul.”

Donald Mitchell

“God is ready to lift our society—all the ingredients are here: the lightning rods of God’s people crying out in prayer are sparking a transformative, sustained movement of His relentless love. I heartily recommend a thorough reading of this insightful work. The formative clouds of revival cover our land; the wind of God is brooding over us, breeding life into our nation. ‘The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice . . . His lightnings light up the world; the earth sees and trembles’ (Psalm 97:1–4 ESV).”

Tom Phillips

“Words are inadequate to describe just how invigorating, thought-provoking, and motivating it was to read Call Down Lightning! Wallace Henley’s unique gift of communicating stirs the heart and soul to learn from the lessons of revival and to re-dig from those wells with a hunger for a modern-day outpouring of the Holy Spirit. . . . I believe this book can be a catalyst to fan the flames for revival again. . . . Wallace Henley rightfully reminds us, ‘In true revival, Jesus Christ is seen more clearly than ever.”
