Guzik illustrates how conversion of sinners follows transformation of life, which follows conviction of sin as the Spirit is poured out on the Church. It is an immensely practical teaching encouraging self-examination and personal restoration to broadening one's prayer life for others. He tackles theological debates on how revival comes, "Is it just a soverign work of God?" or "Is it the right use of appropriate means?" Guzik cited a number of fascinating examples from J. Edwin Orr's book about the Second Great Awakening in Britain.
