The Revival Nobody Wants (Awakening Edition) | Ben Everson

The American church has not seen genuine, widespread revival in one hundred and twenty years. We have had conferences about it, books about it, and prayer movements named after it. We have not had it.

Meanwhile the word itself got stolen: by nostalgia, by politics, by movements that borrow its language and mean something else entirely. The Revival Nobody Wants pulls the word back to what it has always meant, and asks the harder question underneath: do we actually want what we say we are praying for?

This Awakening Edition is a full rebuild of Ben Everson's 2008 original. Twenty-five chapters in four parts. Fifty-four thousand words. New chapters applying the book's own definition to real, named events: Burlington in 2016, Asbury in 2023, and a firsthand account from Ben's own college years. One hundred twenty-eight footnotes.

Not a book about culture. A book about the church, written by a man who has spent thirty years standing in front of it.
