“In Reviving the Revival, Chad Ramsey highlights the theological truth that congregations of God’s people have a responsibility to consistently engage in evangelistic preaching and that the cessation or less frequent usage of Gospel meetings has led to a loss in this regard among churches of Christ in North Mississippi. My prayer is that this work will lead readers, especially Christian leaders, to reconsider their decisions to stop holding Gospel meetings or to assume they are less effective as a result of not considering all the reasons why their meetings do not appear to be as effective as they used to be.” Doug Burleson Associate Professor in Bible Director of Annual Bible Lectureship Freed-Hardeman University
