Book Reflection: And They Told Me Their Stories by Tommy Welchel
I recently read And They Told Me Their Stories by Tommy Welchel, and I can confidently say-it stirred something deep in me.
This powerful book is a collection of firsthand accounts from the last surviving eyewitnesses of the Azusa Street Revival, one of the most extraordinary outpourings of the Holy Spirit in modern history. Tommy Welchel, as a young man, was entrusted with these sacred stories from elderly saints who had experienced the revival firsthand as children and teenagers. What he captured is nothing short of miraculous-healings, supernatural manifestations, and the tangible presence of God filling rooms with glory.
These stories aren't just historical-they are living testimonies. As I read, I could feel my faith being reignited. The hunger, humility, and unity these believers walked in are a powerful reminder of what is still possible today. God hasn't changed. What He did in 1906, He longs to do again in our time.
If your heart longs for revival-or if you've ever wondered what it looks like when Heaven touches earth-I highly recommend this book. It's not just a record of what was; it's a call to believe in what can be.
