Letters on Revival

“Letters on Revival” by Ebenezer Porter, published by Banner of Truth Trust in 2004, is a reprint edition comprising 136 pages in English. This book presents a collection of letters from Porter, who witnessed the revival movements that swept through New England and other parts of the United States between 1798 and 1808. The letters reflect Porter’s passionate desire for church revival while maintaining a balanced perspective against the potential pitfalls of fanaticism.
