“Diary of Revival: 1904 Welsh Awakening” is an intimate portrait of the Great Welsh Awakening and preacher Evan Roberts. The documentary explores the highlights of his life, as well as chronicling his tests of faith. It speaks of his conversion at age 13 and his work in the coal mines before becoming a minister.
This documentary explores Evans’ desire for a deeper experience with God, the overflowing crowds of his meetings, and the many conversions that took place. Other ministers of the day are also featured in the film, including William Williams and hymn composer Charles Wesley. This film is a powerful viewing experience, featuring both Welsh history and a story of compelling spiritual awakening. We are pleased to award it our Dove “Faith-Friendly” Seal for all ages, while noting it is not intended for the very young. This film is sure to inspire!
