Review # 1 was written on 2020-01-06 00:00:00 Bruce Armond Oh good lord! That name! It's AWESOME! I found this, surprise surprise, at the local Christian charity shop. Was it worth my quarter just so I could make fun of Wigglesworth's name here on GR? You bet it was! I don't trust a man with two first names. But a guy with two last names?! I was thrown for a loop! "Smith," who gives their kid Smith as a first name? Maybe the parent's were like, "Fnck it, he's already screwed with Wigglesworth. Might as well make it completely ridiculous." I tried to read Faith That Prevails, I really did, but lord have mercy, I have a hard time stomaching the Jesus and God stuff. And I'm Catholic! I think I'll just return this. Some lost soul looking for salvation will get better use out of it than I.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-05-06 00:00:00 Tracey Hammill "God has something better for you than you ever had in the past." Excellent series of seven sermons on baptism of the Holy Spirit, among other things. Based solely on scripture and anecdotal examples. Wigglesworth (1859 - 1947) was an American Pentecostal. In his day as today Pentecostalism was a minority view within Christians. Wigglesworth believed in the sole authority of the Bible, the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit and Glossolalia (speaking in tongues) all of which are reflected in this work. "When someone received the gift of the Holy Ghost, there will assuredly be no difference between his experience today and that which was given on the Day of Pentecost." Though this book was "first published" in 1966, Wigglesworth died in 1947. It serves as an excellent study in the essentials of Pentecostal Christianity. "There are two sides to this Baptism: the first is that you possess the Spirit; the second is that the Spirit possesses you." One thing I really appreciated. The book is only 64 pages long because that's how much material he had to publish. Modern authors would have stretched it to twice that (assumedly to justify a higher price) with blank pages, side bars, and repetition. This is a more honest approach. "Are you hungry? God promises you shall be filled." (revised after second reading)
