Gods Word, books on how real revival can occur in the church...(which is from Pentacost and before) Are books that exhort along with Scripture the ONLY ways God really shows up which are mainly, Prayer, repentance (real heartbreaking, grieving, groaning, fearful, pleading repentance) and holy living. Books like these would be recommended and heeded IF real revival would ever come to South Park and this nation.
