"""Come, Holy Spirit"" is a common prayer, but few pastors are trained what to do if God answers with unusual power.

Spiritual outbreaks at Asbury University and other places show that the cycle of American revivals is rolling around again. Only God can ignite revival, but he uses pastors to grow and guard it. Yet Bible colleges and seminaries rarely address revival outside of church history classes.

Pastoring Revival: What to Do After the Holy Spirit Moves will equip you to:

Understand how God has worked in past revivals Discern what is of God and what is of merely human origin, or worse Prepare for the unique decisions, problems, and opportunities of a church in revival Shepherd revival in a way that will strengthen rather than divide your church Grow your own spirit and maintain your health through it all

Drawing on two fascinating case studies, academic research, and his own thirty-eight years as a pastor, seeker, and student of revival, Dr. Wentz has produced a practical, engaging, Biblical, actionable guide to prepare every pastor for the next great move of God.

Don't wait to prepare for revival until after it hits your church. Read Pastoring Revival today!"

"Best known internationally as author of PASTORING: THE NUTS AND BOLTS, in print in seven languages, David Wentz has a passion for helping people connect with God and make a difference. Combining 38 years as a pastor with a first career in engineering and graduate degrees from three very different seminaries (charismatic, mainstream, and Wesleyan-evangelical), he expresses God's truth in ways everyone can appreciate.Raised in the Episcopal church, Dr. Wentz has also been part of Nazarene, Pentecostal Holiness, and non-denominational congregations. As a Methodist pastor he served small, large, and multicultural churches in rural, small-town, suburban, and urban settings, served as a regional church consultant in the Maryland - D.C. area, and led workshops for pastors internationally. In 2015 he retired to the rural Ozarks, where he writes, works in God's great outdoors, and oversees Doing Christianity, Inc., a small non-profit devoted to equipping pastors in developing and minority-Christian countries. In 1974, David married his college sweetheart, Paula. They have five children and fourteen grandchildren. The book of Ezekiel describes David's calling. Twenty-five hundred years ago God called Ezekiel to teach God's ways and proclaim the Holy Spirit, the one who revives dry bones and forms them into a dwelling for God and a source of living water that heals nations.Bones are still dry today. God still wants to dwell among his people. Nations still need healing. And people still need to be taught God's ways and be moved by God's Spirit. David calls that ""Doing Christianity,"" and it motivates everything he writes."

Dave Jacobs, author, pastor coach, and administrator of Small Church Pastor ""It is not often I am happy to praise a ministry leadership book so much. This book is a gem. Five stars!"" - Rev. Helen Phillips, Chair of the Anglican Renewal Network of Australia ""This is great stuff! Never read a book with this approach before! Thank you from a young pastor!"" - Rev. Nelson M. Furtado, Jr. ""David has done an excellent job of taking the reader through the process of revival, both historically and from a practical standpoint. In a relatively short volume, he has put together a compendium of everything you need to know about Christian Revival, and how to maximize the efforts of the local churches to become an active part in the movement of the Holy Spirit. I highly recommend this book!"" - Pastor Bob Hunter ""An absolute must-read. . . I've often prayed for a divine revival, and this book is the missing manual on what to do when that prayer is answered. Wentz's blend of practical wisdom and personal experience provides a reassuring guide."" - Amazon reviewer ""An invaluable resource for pastors, church leaders, and seminary students, offering wisdom and guidance for steering a congregation through the powerful waves of revival. It's a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities and responsibilities of pastoring a church experiencing a profound move of God."" - Amazon reviewer ""Thank you for writing this book"". - Rev. Bob McIntyre"
