Revivals rooted in natural law and daily life, says Christian Enquirer
The author argues that religious revivals are built on ordinary industry and natural laws, not supernatural miracles. He compares crops, business, and politics to spiritual awakenings, saying God must crown work and that revivals reflect ongoing life and development. Paul’s peace of God is described as experiential and transformative.
