About the Book

When Johann Christoph Blumhardt, a nineteenth-century German pastor, agreed to counsel a tormented woman in his parish, all hell broke loose. But that was only the beginning of the drama that ensued. Zündel’s account provides a rare glimpse into how the fight between the forces of good and evil plays itself out in the lives of the most ordinary men and women. More than that, it reminds us that those forces still surround us today, whether we are awake to them or not.

Tony Campolo, Eastern College

The fascinating true story of a courageous stand against evil, and the revival that resulted from it, The Awakening avoids the pitfalls that so many similar books fall prey to: sensationalism and spiritual voyeurism. Skeptics will be moved…while gluttons of such accounts will see the painful reality of demonic possession and be encouraged to treat the issue with more caution. This is one of the most inspirational stories I have ever encountered.
