I have decided not to unpublish my book following the retraction of the Bible Society's Quiet Revival report.
Instead I will post again at www.christianrevival.uk when anything new or significant happens on this subject.
My reasons are because the book is relying on qualitative data and not quantitative data.
There are simply too many stories from too many people to not believe that 'something' is going on, whether that be the US 'vibe shift' or the many reports from believers in the UK saying that there is a new openness among many towards faith issues. That's without even going into the huge increase in UK Bible sales etc.
I'm including the following description to the book to reflect the recent changes...
Is there, or isn’t there, a Christian revival about to happen in the UK? The statistics say one thing; the stories say another.
This book captures the heart of that national debate, weaving together a mosaic of perspectives ranging from hardline sceptics through to all kinds of believers. It is an exploration of UK faith in a fractured, digital age. While the data may be contested, the human search for meaning is undeniable. This is the story of a nation searching for its soul, told through the eyes of those who are living it.
Now we have to wait to see what (if anything) happens...
