Books with author Josh Hitchcock

In this stunning debut novel, Amara falls hard into summer love with Henry, and Nathan heads for the altar with Cece. But Amara’s and Nathan’s fates are inextricably entwined. They just don’t know it yet. When level-headed Amara meets the artistic, free-spirited Henry one sunny summer day by the ocean, their future looks sweet and bright. From the back of Henry’s motorcycle, Amara learns to take risks, seize the day, and follow her heart. Meanwhile, high school sweethearts Nathan and Cece prepare for an unexpected baby and all the changes and challenges premarital parenthood will bring, especially under the pressure of Nathan’s conventional parents. Nathan is frightened, but determined to be a better, warmer father than his dad has been to him. Cece seems to be more preoccupied by how her postpartum wedding dress will fit than how a baby will fit into their lives. Will this grow them up – or break them up? Out on their own, life has finally started for both couples and they are determined to make the best of it – until life chaotically intervenes. Illness, accidents, recriminations, and guilt toss all of their plans to the winds. In this thought-provoking story of love, death, and what remains, life continues on, whether they are ready or not. In Life After Death, Jamie Hitchcock tells the moving story of what happens when life doesn’t work out as planned – and the beauty that beckons instead. “A well-woven story with a cast of relatable characters. Full of heart, wisdom, romance, and fun, Life After Death moves quickly, leaving the reader with much to ponder after the last page has been turned.” – Alex Rasmussen, Amazon Bestselling Author

Revivalist Joel Hitchcock believes that youth revivalists can learn from the revivals and spiritual awakenings of the past in order to facilitate a World-shaking Revival and Great Spiritual Awakening in our generation. Joel discusses several revivals of the past - such as the Great Awakenings, Welch Revival, the Azusa Street Outpouring, and others, as well as his own experiences, to challenge young people as the next generation of revivalists to usher in the greatest move of God this world has ever known. God is raising up a younger generation of revivalists for the end time Great Awakening. Great revivals and spiritual awakenings have occurred throughout history in many nations. Great revivalists blazed the trails of great awakenings in the past, and have passed the torch to a younger generation of revivalists. This younger generation of revivalists are the Young Fires that God is raising up to accomplish His purpose in the end time generation. The Young Fires look back and learn for the flaming revivalists of old, then look at our current generation, and cry, “Wilt thou not revive us again?”Joel Hitchcock Writes in the first chapter: "I wrote this book in 1999 under the title, The End Time Revival and Great Awakening. At the time I had a tremendous passion for God to move in our generation in a mighty way. I prayed that God would use me and raise up others to usher in a mighty end time revival and spiritual awakening. I have changed the title of this book to Young Fire – End Time Revivalists for the Great Awakening, because not only was I a youth when I wrote it, but it is my deep desire that young people that read it will catch the spirit of revivalism, and be used by God in their generation. As this book goes into yet another printing, I reflect on what the Lord has done in our generation. I see how God has raised up many powerful men and women of God, who were unknown at the time that I had written this book. Some of them were barely teenagers.God has indeed raised up some great revivalists. I now look forward to what God may do in the next 20 years and beyond. I wonder what kind of nation-shaking revival God may grant us. Regardless of the powerful revivals that God had blessed this nation with, they all seem to fall short from the awakenings in the USA, Wales, Hebrides and others from early 1700s through the early 1900s.Yet we cannot underestimate what God has done recently. Countless lives have been changed and the impact of this move of God will only be appreciated to its full in time to come.Yet our world seems in a horrible spiritual state. Perhaps these most recent revivals were but tremors before the big one hits. I believe this may be the case.An author is always hesitant to put into print a work he or she did many years back, without completely re-editing it, or maybe rewriting it altogether. The reason for this is because authors views on certain things change, they may have come upon greater clarity on certain theological topics, their audience is no longer the same as the one present when they initially wrote their book, and their writing skills have also changed or improved.However, I am putting this book back into print, as it was in 1999, with some editorial changes here and there. The reader may notice that the style of the author reflects that of an on-fire young man, eagerly expecting a mighty move of God.After serving God for many years, and after over 25 years of full time ministry, I am as on fire now as I have ever been. The spirit of revival is more caught than it is taught. It is my prayer that this work would stir a passion for revival and spiritual awakening in you and in our young generation… Dr. Joel Hitchcock, Georgetown Delaware, 2016
