Customer Reviews

True Faith in God!

This book is a must read for anyone who is involved in the Pentecostal movement. It show's the power of God and how it is manifested in his time. However, please note that the Lord's power is being manifested everywhere as I write this note. There great revivals going on all over the world. May the peace of our Lor Jesus Christ be with all of you always.Definitely a good read.

Holiness and Power

This is a nice, easy-read biography from someone who saw Wigglesworth in action. Though it's easy to read with many headings within the chapters, the bio jumps around quite a bit, one paragraph talking about the early part of Wigglesworth's ministry, the next talking about many years later.The Life of Smith Wigglesworth is, however, more detailed than any other biography I've read about him, and I learned things I had not previously heard, such as his two years backslidden period, how he received the Baptism of the Holy Ghost in Sunderland shortly after the Pentecostal Movement began in Britain, how we was used to start the Pentecostal Movement in New Zealand, etc. This book also gives a lot of insight into his character and personal life. Most books talk about how rough he was. This one does too, but it also shares how gentle he could be.Another benefit of this book is that it has some quotes from Wigglesworth, plus testimonies of people who were healed under his ministry, friends, and relatives. One can tell Hywel-Davies spent time documenting this book, interviewing those who knew Wigglesworth and those who were healed through his ministry.Overall, it's a good book, but I'm still waiting for the "definitive" biography.
