When God Walked Among the Nations

“I never tire of revival literature. In fact, I need it. This work is colorful, motivating, and accurate. Through Gleason’s stories of the principal characters of the Great Awakening, I’m stirred to seek such a visitation from God again. Of particular value is the descriptive portrait he paints through his research of the hopeless, immoral culture preceding the Awakening. This inspires new hope for our day, which seems equally as depraved. It’s not impossible for God to turn us around dramatically for his honor. Read and hope.”


—Jim Elliff, President, Christian Communicators Worldwide





“With historical accuracy, theological depth, and winsome prose, Michael Gleason has woven together a masterpiece of storytelling by using first person accounts and primary sources to draw the reader into one of the greatest periods of early American history. It is a book that is hard to put down, reminding us that God’s sovereign hand of mercy to save is always accompanied by the faithful preaching of the gospel, sound doctrine, and a reliance on the Holy Spirit.”


—Eric J. Bargerhuff, Trinity College of Florida





“The revivals of the eighteenth century have long been regarded as paradigms of revival, and rightly so. And while they have been the subject of numerous studies, this new one by Michael Gleason is especially helpful for its demonstration of the present relevance of this era of church history.”


—Michael A. G. Haykin, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
