“In 1949, Campbell felt called to rejoin The Faith Mission, which provided him with a house in Edinburgh. However, his ministry took him back to Skye, where he had worked 25 years before, traveling to and from Edinburgh by motorcycle. This work was successful, leading people to being converted to Christ. He was thoroughly engaged in that work when he received the call to go to the island of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides.” (Read more about this article, click the link above.)

The first seven chapters of this are sermons which were first preached at the time of the Revival in the Isle of Lewis in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The sermons are published in the earnest hope that the written message may be used as was the spoken word. It was the desire of the preacher and author of these messages that the Lord would use them as a way of bringing closer the spiritual revival that many long for and which alone is the answer of God to the desperate need of the world today.
