Bøker av Jonathan Goforth

Jonathan and Rosalind Goforth were a Presbyterian missionaries in China from 1888 to 1935. In the early 1900's, Mr. Goforth became a student of revivals, both contemporary and historical, and for the rest of his missionary career he worked as an evangelist and revivalist. This book is the astonishing record of the Holy Spirit's work in meeting after meeting, and contains dozens of stories testifying to the reality of God and the truth of His Word.From the introduction, "But though we speak of the manifestations at Pentecost as being abnormal, yet we maintain that Pentecost was normal Christianity. The results, when the Holy Spirit assumed control in Christ's stead, were according to Divine plan... The purpose of the Holy Spirit was to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ every day from the crowning to the coming. It is unthinkable that He should grow weary in well-doing... Normal Christianity, as planned by our Lord, was not supposed to begin in the Spirit and continue in the flesh. In the building of His temple it never was by might nor by power, but always by His Spirit."First published in 1929, this Christian classic has been refreshed in order to be presented to a new audience. Since Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, these stories of God's renewing power are as relevant and inspiring today as they were nearly a century ago.About the Scripture Testimony EditionWalking Together Press has enhanced this classic title by identifying and marking portions of the narrative that illustrate specific Biblical topics and verses.
