Fresh Fire: Revelation, Revival & Renewal in New Zealand/Aotearoa, 1766-2023

This book records significant moves of God in Aotearoa/New Zealand, beginning with the earliest recorded prophecies, and the coming of Samuel Marsden at the invitation of the young Māori chief, Ruatara. It ends with the present wave of Asian and African migrants carrying fresh fire to ignite this nation. Fresh Fire is neither academic nor theological. It is intended for a wide audience, from every branch of the Christian church. It is a record of God’s work of grace in this family of nations He loves. The author weaves ‘revival fire’ stories, songs, and prophetic messages together with minimal historical and theological material. The result is an informative and uplifting broad-brush account of God at work in New Zealand over the past 200 years and more.
