499 books24 followers
James Gordon Lindsay was a pivotal figure in mid-20th century American Pentecostalism, best known as a revivalist preacher, prolific author, and founder of Christ for the Nations Institute. Raised in Zion, Illinois, by parents who were disciples of healing evangelist John Alexander Dowie, Lindsay was immersed in a spiritual environment from an early age. After moving to Oregon, he was influenced by key Pentecostal leaders such as Charles Fox Parham and John G. Lake, both of whom deeply shaped his theology and ministry style. By the age of eighteen, Lindsay had launched his ministry, preaching across Pentecostal and British Israelite congregations.
In the 1940s, he emerged as a prominent organizer of revival meetings, including the controversial Anglo-Saxon World Federation convention in 1940. His national impact began in earnest in 1947 when he became the campaign manager and publicist for healing evangelist William Branham. To promote Branham’s ministry and the broader healing revival movement, Lindsay founded the Voice of Healing magazine in 1948. The publication quickly expanded to feature other leading evangelists like Oral Roberts and A. A. Allen, positioning Lindsay as a central figure in the Healing Revival era. He also authored a widely read biography of Branham, A Man Sent from God.
As many associated ministers eventually established their own ministries, Lindsay evolved his organization. In 1971, he rebranded it as Christ for the Nations to reflect a stronger missionary focus. He led the institute until his death in 1973, leaving behind a legacy of revivalism, theological publishing, and international ministry training that continues to influence Pentecostal and Charismatic movements globally.

Very beautiful quick read. The author made this book to address questions people ask about demons and their origins and to clarify the different levels of demonic activities - Oppression, Obsession and Possession - and he did quite a good job of that.
This book is a good introduction for christians wanting to learn about Deliverance and spiritual warfare.
