Publisher's Synopsis
The Pentecostal and Evangelical revivals in the UK in the 20th century represented a breath of fresh air for the Church in an era of decline and struggle. This new book is an account of one of the less well known evangelists who made a significant impact in the 1930s, notably in the major urban centres of the West Midlands, the Potteries, Lancashire and climaxing in Merseyside in 1934/5 where he attracted over 300,000 to his tent meetings. Edward Jeffreys came from a famous family who were converted in the Welsh Revival in 1905 and experienced the baptism of the Holy Spirit during the first days of the Pentecostal Revival. His father was Stephen Jeffreys the leading Assemblies of God evangelist and his uncle was George Jeffreys, the founder of the Elim Foursquare Movement.
