Global awakening : how 20th-century revivals triggered a Christian revolution / Mark Shaw. - Downers Grove, Ill. : IVP Academic, c2010. - 221 p. : ill. ; 23 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Mark Shaw's thesis is that far-flung revivals are at the heart of the global resurgence of Christianity. We read the stories of Joseph Babalola and the Aladura Revival in Africa, of Kil Sun-Ju and the great Korean revival of 1907, of Paulo Borges Jr. and explosion of neo-Pentecostalism in Brazil, and of V. S. Azariah and the mass conversions of the Dalit people in India. --from publisher description
