G. C. Bevington was a man of great faith and prevailing prayer, who in his lifetime saw many extraordinary things accomplished through the power of God.

One of the twentieth century's greatest authorities on revival, Leonard Ravenhill exhorts believers to pray if they want to see revival. Calling prayer "faith in action" and the most essential element in starting a revival, he urges Christians to become people of prayer.

His message is as critical today as it was when first published more than forty years ago.
