About this listen

What happened in the 1990s at Hope, and is still happening, is nothing short of remarkable and spectacular—a dramatic and massive work of the Holy Spirit producing conversions and spiritual renewal and a call to missions and Christian ministry on a grand scale.

"I call it a 'revival,' not only because the word is accurate, but also because it has been the common term used throughout American history for this kind of event. A 'revival' at Hope was for years what many had prayed for. That’s the proper noun I started to use as the title of this book, 'A Memoir of the Hope Revival.'

"The story of the Hope College revival is a great story. I only hope I can do it justice."

From Chapter 1, An Exclamation Point (Or why I wrote this memoir)

After pastoring Presbyterian churches in California and New Jersey, Ben Patterson served as Dean of the Chapel at Hope College in Holland, Michigan, from 1994 to 2000. He subsequently served as Campus Pastor at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, California, from 2000 to 2018. He has been married to Lauretta, the love of his life, for over fifty years, and is blessed to be living in Carpinteria, California, near all four of his adult children and their families, which include eleven spirited grandchildren. He is the author of several books, including The Grand Essentials, Waiting, Serving God, Prayer Devotional Bible, God’s Prayer Book, and Praying the Psalms Devotional.
