Book Description
This book is not a call for the violent overthrow of the government,
nor is it a call to take up arms, nor is it a call to political
activism in and of itself. It is a call to something far more
extreme, a call to live out the gospel with all its radical
claims, a call for people of God to impact this generation with
the prophetic message of repentance, a call to spark the most
sweeping counterculture movement in our nations history, a call
to take back the moral ground that has been stolen from under
out feet, a call to follow Jesus by life or by death. In that
sense, it is a call to start a revolution--now!
About the Author
Dr. Michael L. Brown is the founder and president of the Brownsville
Revival School of Ministry. He met the Lord in 1971 as a
16-year-old heroin- shooting, LSD-using, Jewish rock drummer.
Since then, he has preached around the world, written more than
a dozen books, lectured at leading seminaries and debated rabbis
on college campuses. He is committed to helping raise up an
army of holy radicals who will spark a spiritual and
moral revolution in the land.
Reader's Review 1
Revolution: Lived Out by the Author, October 25, 2000
Reviewer: David R. Hankins from Odessa, TX
This is definitely a work inspired by the Holy Spirit. Timely,
convicting and by no means a so-called "easy, relaxing read",
this book takes the Christian (both real and religious) back
to the basics of what made the early Church so successful. What
makes this book and its message so impacting for me as a former
employee of his, is knowing that Dr. Brown strives to live
it daily and is training approximately 2000 students at the
Brownsville Revival School of Ministry to do the same. With
the moral condition of our nation AND our religious system, there
is no other way to turn the tide but by total and complete revolution.
As Dr. Brown is fond of saying, "On with it!". I wholeheartedly
add my own sentiments to that statement by saying Revolution
starts with you, so read the book and get on with it!

- Let's Go For It!, October 12, 2000
Tom Barry from New York City
This is undoubtedly one of the most well-written and challenging books that I have ever read. In the light of both the terrible condition of the world around us and the amazing redemption that Jesus has provided, is there any real alternative to living all-out for God? "Revolution" catalogs men and women, past and present, who have gone all-out and produced fruit that will abide. We are invited to do the same and given a road map that we can follow. Let's go for it! - Let's Go For It!, October 12, 2000
This book is a must-read for all believers - unless, of course, you want to live a mediocre life.

- The Call, September 21, 2000
Reader from Virginia
A few Saturdays ago, there was a huge Christian gathering on The Mall in D.C. It was called The Call. I had the privelege of going. At this gathering, they were handing this book out for free, and I thought it was some Christian book that most people would take but then throw it in the closet and never see it again. Well, I decided to read it, and finished it in a few days. This book has the answers to anybody's questions about life. This isn't a book that many people have read, or have even heard about it for that matter, unless they went to The Call. It is a shame that many people will never even read this book, even Christians, because this is a book that, if read, will change the life of many teens today, and let them see the truth. I know this, because it did for me. It changed my life, and I am ready live a life for God, even if it means death. I encourage you to read this.- Reader's Review 4
- Read At Your Own Risk!, September 18, 2000
Reader from Pensacola, FL USA
This book has the potential to turn the world as you know it upside down. If you call yourself a Christian and are living a comfortable life without persecution or hardship, perhaps you may want to think twice about reading this book. It is a serious call from a passionate author to live normal lives in an abnormal world for the One who gave His life for you. - The Call, September 21, 2000
Warning: Coupled with the Word, this manuscript has the potential to not only change your life but to radically change the current state of a backslidden nation and church. It's a call to choose holiness over profanity; it's a call to be one that is willing to go against the tide; it's a call to stand up for the Savior while others are bowing down to the Baal's of this generation!
As a result of reading this book, I have become more impassioned than ever to to be a part of the army of revolutionaries that are willing to say, "By life or by death, we will serve the Lord!"

Reader's Review 5- Reader Anu from New York
A book that really makes you think about the world we live in from the eyes of a person living for God. Brown makes readers realize the number of things in this world that are taken so lightly (mastered by Satan) that eventually will contribute to our downfall. It gives detailed perspective on what being a Christian is about and moves one to question their comfortable existence. Even if you are not moved to do anything after you read this book, at least it will definitely plant a seed.- Philologos Review
I haven't stopped thinking about this book and what it means to live all out for Jesus since I got it. There is a battle going on around us and so few Christians are actively engaged in the cause. "The gospel is the ultimate revolutionary message. It says we are governed by a higher authority, ruled by another power, at home in a different world." (p90) Brown's words will challenge you to be a radical for Christ and, if need be, to die for the cause. Do not misunderstand. This book is not asking you to go out and get yourself killed. Instead, it is challenging you to live your life for Christ in a way that your life or death would bring honor to Him. The book is not about dying. It is about living and joining a cause so worthwhile that you would willingly lay down your life for it. As a Christian, our lives do not belong to us anyway. They belong to God. "We live to do His will, period. If His will can be accomplished most fully through our living, so be it. If His will can be accomplished most fully through our dying, so be it. That should be our normal expression of faith." (p248)- You will note that the author is founder of the Brownsville Revival School of Ministry. His association with the Brownsville revival may turn some people away from his work. Michael Brown, as he challenges Christians to live a life for Christ, is not trying to turn people on to the Brownsville revival movement with this book (he does that in another book titled "Let No One Deceive You"). He is advocating something far more radical. Judge "Revolution!: The Call to Holy War" on its own merits and see if you are living all out for Christ. - - Ronni
