Synopsis

Everybody wants an encounter with the divine. But it can be tempting to try to manufacture religious experiences, make God into what we want, or manipulate the movement of God in our lives. So, what happens when God shows up organically and unexpectedly?

On February 8, 2023, a Gen Z-led chapel at Asbury University sparked an unplanned outpouring of God's love that would ultimately draw thousands from around the world to Wilmore, Kentucky.

In Generation Awakened, Sarah Baldwin, Vice President of Student Life at Asbury, gives a firsthand account of the Asbury revival: the presence of God's love; the intersection of the human and the divine; the decisions that stewarded the movement; and the stories of freedom, healing, and reconciliation that poured out of Hughes Auditorium.

You will be transported into the room with Sarah, giving you a chance to witness what happened for yourself and decide what you think it means. This book isn't an explanation; it's an invitation. For anyone who wants something to believe in, who is longing for something bigger, who desperately hopes that God is not only real but is loving and good, prepare to be surprised, amazed, and have your faith restored.

This book is a gift. As a Asbury alum and someone who wanted to be there so badly but felt God asking me to pray from afar and allow others to experience the sacredness of Hughes, I am so thankful to be able to read about what happened in Feb 2023. Thank you, Dr. Baldwin, for allowing others to hear......more

Goodreads review by Donna on June 25, 2024

As a college administrator at a Christian school who sometimes feels the pressure and pessimism of higher education today weighing me down, this book gave me encouragement and great hope! I love how Asbury stood firm on keeping this movement simple and gentle and real. In a world with Christian ‘cel......more
