New English Paperback. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In English and Turkish. 136 p. The expected awakening in Turkey: A call to confession for the churches of Turkey.= Beklenen uyanis: Uyanis için Türkiye'deki kiliselere itiraf çagrisi. This country is still the largest 'unreached' country in the world. However, a spiritual awakening in the country is possible and spiritual growth in the church can happen. The Bible is very clear on what needs to take place in Turkey, and the remedy is not difficult. This exhortation is written for the churches in Turkey, it is the single most important document I have ever written, and I truly believe that the life of the church and the nation depends on your individual response to this Biblical mandate, along with the response of your local church, and the churches in Turkey as a whole. Many have wondered if there is a real and present curse upon Turkey. We will look at the one obstacle that is hindering the church from spiritual and numerical growth and God's remedy to lift this apparent curse.
