Though Charles Finney is most often associated with evangelism and revival, his heart yearned over the Christian who, though forgiven of past sins, still lives in bondage to sinful habits. L.G. Parkhurst has carefully selected thirty brief but powerful readings from the writings of Finney, showing how freedom comes to a Christian only through a relationship with Jesus Christ. For lay people and scholars alike, here is challenging and inspiring devotional reading from Finney's writings in a format easy to understand and apply.
Charles Grandison Finney was a leader in the Second Great Awakening. He has been called The Father of Modern Revivalism. Finney was best known as an innovative revivalist, an opponent of Old School Presbyterian theology, an advocate of Christian perfectionism, a pioneer in social reforms in favor of women and blacks, a religious writer, and president at Oberlin College.
He is not to be mistaken for his great-grandson, Charles G. Finney (1905-1984).
