The Sunderland Refreshing

Since August 1994 Sunderland has been an influential centre for the 'Toronto Blessing'. Subtitled, 'How the Holy Spirit invaded one British Town', just over half this book is an account of the coming of the 'Blessing' to Sunderland, and of its results, including the impact of the gospel on the criminal fraternity. The Gotts emphasise that the fruit, not the manifestations, are sought, and it was good to see an attempt to answer the frequently-raised question of manifestations and self-control.
