Chronology of revivals

Does anyone have a list of revivals in the order of their occurrence up to the present time?
It would need to include the names of leaders or those who were significant in those revivals, the dates, the towns and/or nations involved, the main experience or expression of it and what happened post revival?

I may have missed a thread on this before and if so sorry. Just signpost me to the right place I have listened to quite a few of the revival messages and keep hearing of incidental revivals and find it difficult to sit them in an overarching picture of time and location.

Thanks

Yes this is helpful. Thanks. I will have to plough my way through this list although I have listened to quite a number of these already.

It feels as though there needs to be a map (like you have a timeline pictorial list of successive Kings and Queens) to show the main detail including the key details I mentioned earlier.

It is when you read about revivals like the Indonesian revival I read about in Mel Tari's book called Like a Mighty Wind. It talks of raising the dead, healing more than 30,000 sick people, whole tribes transformed- even localities of 21,000 people, people dying on the spot for refusing to repent of sin etc So you read about them and then you have to go back through the revivals and try and slot them in in the right order.

Then you read about the Fisherman revival in England ...the Argentinian revival...etc

Then you hear about people connected to revivals like Walter Palmer and Reginald Radcliffe....

A lot of books seem to deal with specific revivals so if you can recommend a book(s) that show more of a comprehensive list including the smaller geographical ones that would be great too.

Thanks

Does your list include the East African Revival that began around 1935? I was in Uganda in the early 1970's and the evidences of its effects were still strong. The definitive book on the revival is probably "Breath of Life". It was very much a grass roots movement - the missionaries found that they too had to deeply repent, and ask forgiveness of their African brethren (can't remember the author. Also if you can get hold of any books by Bishop Festo Kivengere, such as: "When God moves", and "I Love Idi Amin"

One thing that especially impressed me was that nearly all the [i]bishops[/i], when I was there, and probably still in these days, were actually "saved".

Shows how much we in the western nations have lost...

Thanks for that LittleGift...I mentor some young people and share my revival library around with them. I will certainly look out for these books.

It seems that some of the smaller or more localised revivals are often more difficult to track down and these stories can easily be forgotten. Thank goodness that after every true revival move - however small or localised - there is a lasting impact on the lives of the people involved.

There is an old saying: "If you have been through a revival fire there will always be the smell of smoke on your clothes till the day you die. You will never forget it and you will never be satisfied with anything less."

Here's hoping that we all end up with the smell of smoke on our clothes....
