Beginning with the great pioneer efforts of the nineteenth century, Mr. Orr relates the spiritual and social factors which met in the production of significant revivals from the Fifth General Awakening, down through the years until after the closing of China by the cruel hand of Communism.

With sensitivity and warmth, combined with a penchant for accuracy, the author touches on all the great stirrings of the Spirit that touched this teeming area of the world. Outbreaks of blessings throughout China, quickening in Korea. and the Lord's evident hand in Japan and Taiwan all get proper attention.

At a point in history, when much of eastern Asia is engulfed in the Red tide, it is particularly inspiring to be reminded of the power which God has been able to generate in the name of His Son.
