Holy Spirit Revivals

by Charles Grandison Finney

The Power of God at Work

Charles Finney's ministry led to some of the most amazing revivals that have ever occurred in the United States or England. In Holy Spirit Revivals , Finney recalls those events, revealing the secrets that led to the mass conversions of lost souls in his meetings throughout upstate New York, as well as in Boston, Philadelphia, and London.

Unafraid of offending delicate ears by addressing the problem of sin head on, Finney's dedication to prayer, his understanding of Scripture, and his radical reliance on the power of the Holy Spirit are a great template for believers today.

An outstanding resource for anyone interested in seeing a revival of faith in the church, Holy Spirit Revivals is a treasured account of one of the greatest Christian preachers in history.

if you want to understand the spirit of revival, you have to begin with the spirit of prayer. Prayer brings unity, which brings revival.

"Holy Spirit Revivals" was written by Charles Finney whose ministry led to some of the most amazing revivals that occurred in the United States. Revivals occurred in many places around New York State: Governeur, Rome, Utica, Troy, Auburn, etc. Sadly, the revivals didn't not touch my home (Ithaca). *** This book will increase your faith

Passion. power, and purpose. Oh my goodness, the old preachers were unstoppable, not hindered by popular opinion or current events. They had a clear goal: to tell people about Jesus. Personally, I find great encouragement and inspiration in a book like this one. I highly recommend it.

You can't read this book without experiencing that genuine presence of the holyspirit. Charles Finney's life revolves around the holyspirit as much can be achieved just by a walk with him ...Why not read this great book

Great

[Dr. Paul T. Blake · Rating 4 out of 5]

His "one person at a time" strategy per evangelism really stuck out to me, along with his high standard (basically having a radical encounter or getting filled with the Spirit) for who should be considered converted. I also appreciated ho whe remained in a certain town for weeks or years, not a weekend. Since the book is autobiographical, his versions of the stories are presumably more accurate? Either way, they came across as very genuine since they were usually about individual conversions. The mass conversions in cities came after he had been there for quite some time usually.
