This book, "THE CATALYSTS OF THE GOSPEL" is the most comprehensive and well researched compilation of the history of the Scripture Union Ministry, East of the Niger. It is a chronological compendium of the development of the pilgrim ministry and other activities of the Scripture Union (Nig). The founding of the first Scripture Union Pilgrim Group at Mission Hill Umuahia during the Nigeria-Biafra Civil war, and the establishment of the first and largest post war pilgrim's group, the Enugu Township Group, in 1970, are very clearly and factually presented. It is a thriller; a fascinating piece that will hold the interest of the reader from beginning to the end: a must read for any person that wants to have a detailed and accurate information about the Great Spiritual Revival of the 70s.
