No nation on earth has a richer, more colourful, and more long-standing heritage of evangelical awakenings than Scotland - yet most people are unfamiliar with its dramatic legacy. Most historical studies stop at, or before, the Moody & Sankey Revival of 1873-74. It is commonly assumed that very few genuine revivals occurred since that date until the Lewis Revival of 1949-53. Tom Lennie thoroughly debunks this idea - showing that religious awakenings were relatively common in Scotland between these dates - and provides a comprehensive account of the many exciting revivals that have taken place throughout Scotland.
The Awakenings in the Outer Hebrides and North East fishing communities, that had several unique and striking features, are considered in separate sections. Revivals amongst both children / students and Pentecostals are also given separate treatment.

Of particular significance is the first comprehensive account of the 1930’s ‘Laymen’s Revival’ in Lewis. This fascinating, but near-forgotten, movement may have been even more powerful and influential than the later Lewis Revival.
Glory in the Glen tells a thoroughly absorbing, and largely untold, story. It is the result of painstaking research, conducted over more than half-a-decade, from hundreds of source materials as well as personal interviews. Much of the material has never before been published.

“I have come through the pages of this book with a prayer forming on my breath again and again: ‘Come Lord once more to this land. Visit us with another day of Your Power.’ ”
Kenny Borthwick, Holy Trinity Church, Wester Hailes, Edinburgh
“Extensively researched and engagingly written Tom Lennie is to be commended for bringing to life an element of Scottish church history that has not received the attention it deserves.”
Sandy Finlayson, Professor of Theological Bibliography, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
“an intriguing, judiciously balanced, and often inspiring account of movements of the Holy Spirit in Scotland in a period that we do not normally think of as characterized by revivals (except for the 1949-52 Lewis Revival, which occurred later)… It has encouraged me to pray with new expectancy for God to revive His work among us.”
Douglas F. Kelly
“In this fair-minded and thorough book, Tom Lennie has shown that there were evangelical awakenings in many parts of the land down to the inter-war years.”
Richard Owen Roberts, International Awakening Ministries
“…a welcome addition to the literature on the evangelical history of Scotland. He has researched the sources – both oral and written – thoroughly, and has assessed the evidence thoughtfully… I hope it will dispel the myth that genuine revival is marked by strange phenomena; the testimony both of Scripture and history is that it is marked by a return, through the Word of God and by the Spirit of God, to the Christ of God as the source of all spiritual life. I wish it a wide circulation.”
Iain D. Campbell, Free Church of Scotland, Back, Isle of Lewis
"Spontaneous local revivals of religion in Scotland did not virtually disappear, Tom Lennie has shown that there were evangelical awakenings in many parts of the land down to the inter-war years."
David Bebbington, Prof. of History, University of Stirling
“… it is not new techniques or new schemes we need… It is what many nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Scottish Christians, whose experience of true revival is set forth in this well-documented book, knew: the awesome God of holiness himself drawing near to his people and setting mind and heart ablaze with glorious light. Read—and pray!”
Dr. Michael A.G. Haykin, Adjunct Professor, Church, History & Spirituality, Toronto Baptist Seminary
