by Dalen Garris (Author)
Four Steps to Revival grew out of a series of messages that have been preached across Africa for the last ten years. As the messages developed and were spread, people began to ask for a written copy to keep after Brother Dale was gone. As the messages grew and new revelations were added, the booklet grew into the book it is today.Six principles of revival are explained as a foundation that must be in place before any revival can ignite. Then four distinct steps of action are outlined as a plan to take any church from an initial realization to vibrant prayer and soul-winning. This book works Approximately 50,000 copies have been distributed across Africa and the message continues to inspire and encourage people. It has been carried into many areas that have never seen the Light of the Gospel and is responsible for hundreds of churches being planted and thousands of souls receiving Christ. In many cases, using the principles explained in Four Steps to Revival, pastors have seen as many as 300 churches planted in just a few years. This short book explains in a simple way the things that are holding us back from a true Holy Ghost revival and outlines from Biblical references what we have to do to get one. The simplicity of the basic principles given in the book makes it easy for everyone to understand and to implement. As a result, pastors in many countries carry Four Steps to Revival along with their Bibles to bring revival to their churches.Not only are the principles of revival explained, but Four Steps to Revival brings to light the specific prophesies about the last great revival promised just before the return of Jesus Christ, giving the reader great confidence that if these principles are followed, revival will surely come. Not only will revival come, but it will be the greatest revival of all time.
Author Biography
Dr. Dalen Garris has been in ministry since 1970 during the Jesus Movement in California and has helped establish churches across America for 21 years. He started a radio broadcast in 1997 that was heard on stations around the world for almost 12 years. A newspaper column followed, for which he has written over 700 articles, which were published in newspapers and Christian magazines in several countries. He has also written several books and booklets. Since 2004, he has been lighting the fires of revival in churches spread across sub-Saharan Africa. During the course of 14 years, he has preached in over 900 churches and has seen hundreds of churches have been set on fire. Hundreds of people have been supernaturally healed during that time. In many of these healing lines, the Holy Spirit would be so strong that every person in the line would get healed, sometimes when they entered the meeting place. Tens of thousands have been saved as a result of the revivals that would take place. And the fires are still burning. Dr. Garris currently lives with Cindy, his wife of 40 years, in Waxahachie and is still heavily involved with orphanages and churches across Africa. His pressing hope is in seeing this upcoming generation become the Gideon Generation that will usher in this last, great revival that he has preached about for so many years.
