Ebook
Do you feel weary, tired, dry?
Do you feel in need of spiritual refreshment?

This is a book for those thirsting to see revival bubble up in our post-pandemic time and place today.
Exploring the profound images of water in scripture, from baptism to an ‘outpouring’ of the Holy Spirit, Saturated With God paints a compelling vision of what the Church can be today - shining with the love and power of God - and stirs up the call on every Christian to more closely follow Jesus today.
Exploring the profound images of water in scripture, this book stirs up the call on every Christian to more closely follow Jesus and readies us to thirst for spiritual revival in our day.

"Malcolm has lived for, prayed for, worked for, and looked for revival for over thirty years. This book is the fruit of his quest and it is both kindling and spark to ignite the fire of revival in your heart, your church, your community and your nation. The most exciting book on renewal in a generation."
"Malcolm Macdonald masterfully draws God's living water from our ancient wells. Not just to give his readers a quick drink, but with his charism as a giant of faith, to raise our ambition. What does it mean to be 'saturated by God' in a way that transforms lives, churches, communities and society? I loved it!"
"A realistic assessment of where we are and a hopeful portrayal of where we could be. We are praying with Malcolm for the move of God he writes about so clearly here. Might we see floods of revival again."
"We are taught to have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. Malcolm Macdonald has done that and captured it wonderfully in this book. It is a word for our time as he calls us back to the Church's roots in the presence and power of the Holy Spirit and encourages us to prepare for the revival future God has for us. Sharp analysis of the state of the Church today deeply convicted me about the poverty of my life in God and yet I was filled with hope as I read of past revivals. This book invites us to believe for more of God."
"Saturated with God echoes the cry of many hearts in the church today; 'there must be more than this'. In a world that has experienced global chaos and trauma over the last few years, this book provides fresh hope and life for those seeking more. Malcolm provides for us a clear guide to going deeper into both God's presence and God's power; one that he has consistently modelled personally in his own life and ministry. I highly recommend it."
