Brad Allen has long been intrigued by the subject of real, authentic revival, those times when God has suddenly come upon a people in great power. What God did in the Hebrides Islands in 1949-53, he says, was awesome, powerful, and without adequate explanation. Was this a sovereign act of a Sovereign God, or did it happen in response to the prayers of a few people?This book, the result of ten years of study and research, is Brad Allen's fascinating attempt to comprehend the almost incomprehensible, and he brings to this subject a scholar's quest for facts and a poet's passion for truth.Brad Allen has been a Baptist Pastor for many years, and is currently preaching internationally with Spiritual Awakening Ministries. He and his wife have three sons, and they live at Lake Humphreys outside of Marlow, Oklahoma.

After many scrapes with a local hooligan, the two learn the prized pup has been stolen and will either be put in a dogfight ring or sold at a black-market auction. The boy stumbles onto the illicit site, which leads to a harrowing conclusion.

It is on this and other Caribbean islands that their descendants survive to this day.
