Rend The Heavens

Stories of Awakening

De: Frank Di Pietro

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Every revival is unique, but commonalities are found in each one. When we recognize the patterns, it helps us uncover the signs of grace in our time.

Rend The Heavens: Stories of Awakening sets out to do this. This book will ignite your heart and stir your soul. This 286-page work, with an exciting mix of biographical narratives and revival accounts, is arranged in chronological order and broken up into sixteen chapters:

1. Gerhard Tersteegen
2. George Whitefield
3. Hudson Taylor (Part 1)
4. Hudson Taylor (Part 2)
5. Cane Ridge Campmeeting
6. The Hawaiian Awakening
7. Robert Cleaver Chapman

11. Shantung Revival
12. Hebrides Revival
13. Brownsville Revival (Part 1)
14. Brownsville Revival (Part 2)

You'll be inspired by stories of intercessors, missionaries, and evangelists. Each chapter was diligently researched and prayed over before it was written. Rend the Heavens will inspire you to seek God and press in for a fresh outpouring.

What Others are Saying:

Corey Russell, an internationally known revivalist and intercessor declared the following:

“I believe that the Body of Christ in the United States of America has lost a sense of the holiness and sacredness of revival. I see so many on social media using this word to describe what is happening through their ministries. While I’m grateful to God for every person touched, every body healed, and every thing restored, I’m also aware that we have fallen far from the biblical and historical reality of what revival truly is. This is why I’m so grateful for Frank Di Pietro’s new book, Rend the Heavens: Stories of Awakening. In this inspiring collection, Di Pietro calls on believers to look to the past—seeing what revival has looked like—to re-frame our expectations for both the present and future. My prayer is that through this book God, would light your heart on fire with a deep burden to see revival touch this generation like never before.”

Evangelist Dan Bohi, the founder of Becoming Love Ministries, said,

"I recommend "Rend The Heavens: Stories of Awakening" for anyone who wants their passion for revival restored. These stories will rekindle the fire of intercession in your heart and life."

About the Author

Here's a sad fact. Many revival books are written by individuals who have never experienced it. The author might have bought old books and conducted research, but they’ve never been overwhelmed by the glory. To truly understand revival, an author should have direct experience with the subject.

This is what makes Frank “J.J.” Di Pietro unique. He was not only affected in the Brownsville Revival in the 1990s, but he also attended the Smithton Outpouring in rural Missouri. The writer later relocated his family to Kansas City to be a part of the stirrings at Revive Church.

Di Pietro has not only received powerful touches from the Lord, but he has also been a carrier of the fire. In addition to ministering in churches across the Midwest, he is actively involved with teaching on intercession and the principles of revival. He is uniquely qualified to write about the great moves of God.

In 2016, Di Pietro released: The Fire That Once Was: A Revival Classic. This book has spread around the globe and is inspiring multitudes to pray for revival. More than one admitted that the pages of their book was stained with tears.

Rend The Heavens is the followup to this work. Di Pietro said, "The Fire That Once was is filled with passion and the flames of intercession. But I think that Rend the Heavens goes much deeper. If you were blessed by the old book, you will love the new book even more."
