 Can you plagiarise your own work...? This book is the same as a previous one! August 29, 2008

The content of this book is fairly good, and although most of the evidence presented is fairly subjective I think Strom does a pretty good job of presenting his case - namely that we need to be aware of the dangers that can be (but not necessarily are) present when revival is taking place. This is a fairly one-sided view, though, and while I side with Strom on almost all of his points, the astute reader may want to read some of Bentley's work to get a different angle. There are quite a lot of transcripts of Bentley's 'teaching' available online if you want to avoid buying his books!
On a very negative note, what I found really upsetting about this book is that it is almost a word for word facsimilie of Strom's book, "Why I Left the Prophetic Movement", published less than a year before! This fact alone did make me wonder about the integrity of the ministry. It does seem that the Florida 'Outpouring' has provided an opportunity for Revivalschool publishing to cash in... and without even correcting the many typos and punctuation errors in the first book!
I would recommend this book over the other (nearly identical) one but would advise you to check them out in your local bookshop if possible before buying either.
An emotive book rather than a biblical scholarly work August 29, 2008

I was interested to see what Andrew Strom had to say but I was disappointed. He has a very narrow view of prophecy (= repentance) and although states that revivals can be messy, has made up his own mind about what has happened over the past 14 years. He didn't mention gold dust apart from the title. He needs to look at the fruit of revivals - I am aware of a lot of fruit coming from the Toronto blessing - and not make it more a personality issue. He also made a lot of use of personal emails which cannot really be used as "evidence". From what I've seen of the Florida Outpouring, many people recommitted their lives to God and many were healed. God is a God of the supernatural, there will always be abuses and people will make mistakes but that doesn't stop God working.

Having attended the Florida putpouring, I think it's important to open your hearts and minds to hear and feel the presence of God. I found the outpouring to be real, spiritual and I happened to go when Todd Bentley was not there (obviously for his personal reasons he is currently no longer taking parts in this revival) but I found the rest of the Fresh Fire team to be amazing. Similar seminars are taking place all the time - in the UK there is Farenheit, Faith Camp, Soul Survivor and many more, and they are all very similar with angels and gold dust, gold teeth, healings etc etc. Are all to be criticised? I feel for the author.

The first thing that struck me about this book was the arrogant, 'revival my way is the only way.' I have my own views on Todd Bentley, but believe he is at the mercy of his perceptions as are we all and is short of the glory of God as are we all. Other Christian writers have the good grace to admit they are on a journey and don't have all the answers, but their heart shows they are sincerely seeking truth and hunger to love Jesus.
Having said that, i believe Strom probably is better qualified on the subject of revival than me. Perhaps the only way God can draw people into loving and obedient relationship is through fear of punishment and intimidation. I can envisage this not being the case, but if some people really have the absolute truth, then i am pleased for them. As for me, if God is not the God i admire and love because of his love for mankind, then i am a long way from knowing him and one of those ones who is 'decieved.'

I haven't seen much of Todd Bentley and the God TV but what i have seen alarmed me - and i kind of felt guilty about being alarmed, like i was a doubting thomas and putting a dampner on God's work...but this isn't how God does things??!! My wonderful vicar showed a bit in one of our healing sessions and the dvd kept stopping (luckily) so we didn't see much, but what i did see was just horrible , crass, casino-style shouting and wooping and people running around "cured"
....I don't remember Jesus needing to shout and screech and wear designer suits with gig style lighting and sexy dancers to get the job done..
This guy just hit me WRONG...that's the only way to describe it and i just bless Andrew for this book - not so i can pass on it on "i told you so" style, just because i just get a horrible feeling about all this revival hype lately and genuinely feel it's spiritually "wrong"
i very much recommend you read this and make up your own mind...i'm not trying to say Todd Bentley is the devil incarnate, i just feel an absence of God and the Holy Spirit and our Lord in game show style telly with spiritual energy i dont recognise as of Christ
I pray for true revival
