"The most important book I've ever written,"
Rick Leland
What the readers are saying:
"I love that such a book about the Hebrides revival written in such a simple yet impactful way.. I will be meditating on and gleaning from for years to come."
"I would give it 10 stars!!!!"
"I give praise to GOD. A wonderful retelling of the great revival of 1949 in Scotland through Duncan Campbell. Very insightful. Makes me cry and praise his holy name. It points to Christ, which is what it should do."
"Never have I started and finished a book in one day, until I picked up "The Revival You Want. The Revival You Need!" It has truly fanned spark within me! A must read for anyone seeking more of the presence of the Lord."
The Revival You Want.
The Revival You Need!
The words astonishing, amazing, astounding or any other words attempting to articulate this idea; fall woefully short of the mark of truly communicating how much God was in the Hebrides Revival.
The Hebrides Revival took place on the Hebrides Islands of Lewis and Harris, off the north-western coast of Scotland from 1949 to 1953.
A jaw dropping account from Duncan Campbell is the heart of The Revival You Want. The Revival You Need! His retelling is from a sermon preached at Faith Mission Bible College in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1968.
Two-time Amazon bestselling author Rick Leland was thirteen at the time and his father was thirty-seven.
Leland slightly edited the sermon for clarity and added insightful commentary to inspire readers to press toward revival.
The blend of Campbell retelling of God moving in a manner rarely seen on planet Earth, in collaboration with Leland’s drawing out of rich lessons to instigate another wave of intensity/passion, is a tool for inspiration and impartation.
Book 1
Jesus at Walmart...a Reed Shaking in the Wind
In this fully stocked 246-page novel two beloved favorites come together—Jesus and Walmart. Fueled by Pastor Malachi Marble’s fall from faith, which tumbles him into the late night world of Walmart.
Author Rick Leland spent fourteen months working as a Walmart Overnight Stocker doing research for the book. Well, not purely for research.
“Actually I needed the money to live on,” Leland said. “But I knew God was working something out in my life, as inspiration for Jesus at Walmart emerged even before my first night’s work was over.”
Walk past the greeter; into the heart of Walmart with Malachi Marble. Grab a shopping cart. You’ll need something to hang onto during this trip to Walmart like no other.
And when you exit Jesus at Walmart, expect to leave a changed person

Jesus Doesn't Have Facebook
Two-time Amazon bestselling author Rick Leland takes you on a journey, as he calls it, "Up Snake Hollow." He and his friends' examination of Facebook redlines the quirky-o-meter.
Yet Leland is full-on serious and puts the shovel to the task of giving a truthful Jesus-lensed view of the cultural phenomena most of us engage with more than what is healthy—body, soul, spirit.
Still, Leland confesses he still enjoys Facebook while offering discerning principles, original perspectives and some unpredicted merriment. Through all, keeping a solid theological mooring.
While Leland does not write for the click like, and spits some fire, yet he copiously speaks grace and mercy toward all in Jesus Doesn’t Have Facebook…what the crap is going on?. And is fond of acknowledging throughout the book that we all live at different campsites.
Readers may perceive the ride up Snake Hollow getting a little cray cray in in the final chapters of Jesus Doesn’t Have Facebook…what the crap is going on?. As the excursion veers onto a we-must-be-lost single track, coursing through two Leland-christened crap piles.
You decide!
