Riding the Wind of God: A Personal History of the Youth Revival Movement

During the 1940s, in the wake of the Depression and in the midst of WWII, a small group of students at Baylor University began to pray for spiritual revival. They were not evangelists with a program, but ordinary students with a heartfelt concern for renewal in America. Beginning with a single miraculous revival in Waco, Texas, a movement began among students from other campuses and in other cities -- Houston, Fort Worth, Dallas, Memphis, Birmingham, Atlanta, even Honolulu. “Riding the Wind of God” tells the remarkable story of the Youth Revival Movement. These stories, written for the first time, reflect God’s power at work in surprising places in an extraordinary time.
