Baptised by Fire

by Jack Hywel-Davies

Smith Wigglesworth was an uneducated, straight-talking Yorkshire lad, who never fully mastered the art of reading and writing. One day, in a small Methodist chapel, he heard God's call and immediately began the work of challenging all those he met to 'only believe'. In the subsequent fifty years, he was to become a figurehead for the growing Pentecostal Movement, leading missions all over the world. In "Baptised by Fire", Jack Hywel-Davies tells the striking story of this passionate man of God whose unquestioning faith and powerful ministry are a source of inspiration even today.

This is the amazing true story of Smith Wigglesworth and how he went from a reserved Christian to a whirlwind that brought Christ and the baptism to the world. Was interesting for me to read that he had been a part of the Salvation Army but it wasn't quite for him. And to hear of some of his large meetings and his powerful belief that things would happen, and how he would not tolerate unbelief. Definitely a book for anyone whom wants to read about an ordinary man doing extraordinary things for God.

Well worth the read to understand an important but near forgotten 'apostle' (perhaps). Looking for insight from Wigglesworth into NZ but didn't quite find it

An excellent book which touches heart, soul and mind where you are left praying come Holy Spirit.
