The word of the week is repentance.  As we discussed Sunday, it is beautiful to God, and a blessing to us.  It is a gift and grace from God for which we are free to pray for ourselves and others.  In a nasty conflict?  Pray that God will grant all parties involved (yourself included) repentance unto life.  Jonah 3 is a massive repentance story.  Imagine if we saw any version of that?  It would be stunning.

I mentioned a book on the Great Awakening: Iain Murray’s book Revival and Revivalism. Can I add a few recommendations?   How about George Whitefield: God's Anointed Servant in the Great Revival of the Eighteenth Century by Arnold Dalimore. He also has a two volume set.  Great reading. I also enjoyed reading a book about Wesley entitled The Burning Heart. If you want to learn about times when repentance went through American and England like a fire, I recommend these books.

Have a great week!
