Over 100 years ago a Methodist minister by the name of C. H. Crookshank wrote an account of the history of Methodism in Ireland from its beginnings in 1747 when John Wesley visited for the first time, until 1859, the year of the great revival. It has never been reprinted this century until now, despite its being viewed as a classic by those who had the privilege to own a copy. The original three volume hardback work has been completely re-typeset and is now available as a six-volume, stitch-bound, paperback set (1350 pages in all). It has also been given a new title, "Days of Revival", and is complete with a new index. What does "Days of Revival" have in store for today's reader? The first thing is that if you want history to thrill your heart and challenge your faith, then "Days of Revival" is a good place to discover it. The second thing it gives is an unprecedented insight into evangelicalism in Ireland over the one hundred and sixty year period leading up to 1859. These were far from being days of barrenness and many exciting events took place. This helps us to see our day in a wider context of history. Finally, you will be introduced to some amazing preachers who once travelled throughout the length and breadth of this land. Men such as Thomas Walsh of Limerick, Gideon Ouseley from Galway and Charles Graham. Accounts of their open-air preaching as well as stories of the remarkable conversions seen under their ministries are all drawn together in this easy to read set.
