The Autobiography of Charles G. Finney Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Recently I picked a book from the shelf of an old library, it was Finney's Auto-biography. I had never seen it before. It must have been an early copy because it contained over 450 pages of Finney's personal tensimony of revival. I am 72 years old and have been preaching since I was 21. I have read many books in my rather long life, but I believe I can truthfully say Finney's Auto-biography is one of the most inspiring books I have ever read. I came away from that book with a renewed faith in the power of prayer to produce revival. I would especially recommend this book to those pastor's who are about worn out with trying to build the Lord a church. Finney, it seems, never showed any real interest in building a church, his focus was on the souls of the lost and prayed earnestly for their salvation. As they were saved the church was built.
I have ordered other copies for some of my young minister friends.
Revival came in Finney's day and I believe it will come again today if we will pray as Finney prayed.

He spearheaded a revival in America which literally altered the course of our national history.The principles he discovered concerning the principles of revival have been preserved and utilized by evangelists and missionaries alike through the
