why is Revival delayed?

i've been blessed to read "why revival tarries" by Leonard Ravenhill -- SUPER-CHALLENGING, SUPER- CONVICTING STUFF!

here's a man who was NOT afraid to go against the flow, to speak out against the spiritual deadness & rot of today!

go here!! http://ravenhill.org
a sample:
"Men are now so occupied with getting to the moon that they have forgotten how to get to heaven. They are so bent on inventing new ways to liquidate cities that they have lost sight of living. Some scientists spend their lives inventing death.
This troubled age so relentlessly broadcasts its groans over worldwide radios every hour on the hour that men have forgotten that there is a Prince of Peace.
Honesty is hard to come by even in the church of the living God. We believers are so preoccupied with the lesser things of the church that we have starved our own appetite for the moving of the Spirit.
If we were not so preoccupied with lesser things, we would be grief-stricken that we have failed to inherit our possessions in Him. In failing Him, we hurt His dear heart day by day.
We are too preoccupied!

Tell me in the light of the cross, isn’t it a scandal that you and you & I live as we do?
