SOUNDS FROM HEAVEN
The revival on the Isle of Lewis 1949-1952
By Colin and Mary Peckham . Christian Focus. 288 pages. £8.99
ISBN 1 85792 953 5

The last revival in the British Isles occurred 52 years ago on the Isle of Lewis. This account of it is divided into two almost equal parts.

The first tells the story of the revival. This draws from the records held by the Faith Mission and especially those submitted by the Rev. Duncan Campbell. The second section has the testimonies of 25 people who were converted during the Revival. Mary Peckham's own testimony is included and she has translated several testimonies from Gaelic. Her husband was Principal of the Faith Mission Bible College until he retired.
