great book....

Also i have finished reading a great book about God's movement through the aboriginal people of Australia from the late 70's to the mid 80's mainly.... then a little from the 90's to early 2000's. it was awesome to read the stories of how God touched them and started a revial through north and central australia, starting with one tribe and then flowing out to other tribes who used to be enemies.... Telling of stories of nearly whole towns coming to Christ, and the crime/sickness/injuries in the towns dropping dracistically, so much so the police station some of the towns were thinking of closing their doors. This guys lived out the Great commission of going and preaching the word of God, and Mark 16:17 and 18 was real for them.
17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my
name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they
will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will
not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will
get well
.... It was like reading Acts from the bible, but it was here in Australia, in the Outback.
I don't have the book with me, and i can't remember the name of it. it is something like "revial in the outback", i'll check and blog the name properly when i get a chance.
