The first objective history of the great revivals that swept the country
after World War II. All Things Are Possible tells the story of the victories and defeats of such
giants of the revival as William Branham, Oral Roberts, Jack Coe, T. L. Osborn,
A. A. Allen. It also tells of the powerful present day evangelists who carrying
on the revival, including Robert Schambach and Morris Cerullo. The book
includes photographs of Schambach, Allen, Cerullo, Branham, Roberts, Osborn,
Coe and many others. Those who lived through the great revival of the 1950's
and 1960's will be thrilled to read about those exciting days. Those who did
not experience the revivals first-hand should read this book to gain a better
understanding of America’s religious climate today. David Edwin Harrell, Jr. is a professor of
history at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. Though aspects of his approach will not
be accepted by some readers, he has visited Schambach revivals and aims to
write from a scholarly yet sympathetic perspective.
