More About the Author

Leonard Ravenhill was born in 1907 in the city of Leeds, in Yorkshire, England. After his conversion to Christ, he was trained for the ministry at Cliff College. It soon became evident that evangelism was his forte, and he engaged it with both vigor and power. Eventually he became one of England's foremost outdoor evangelists. His meetings in the war years drew traffic jamming crowds in Britain, and great numbers of his converts not only followed the Savior into the Kingdom, but into Christian ministry and the world's mission fields. In 1939 he married an Irish nurse named Martha. Together they had three sons. Paul and David are ministers, and Philip is a teacher. Leonard went home to be with the Lord in November of 1994.

5.0 out of 5 stars Written in 1979, yet still just as timely., December 1, 2003

I got this book in the mail this afternoon, and decided to just take a glance at it. Grabbing this book was like grabbing lightning. I could just not let go. I was charged by it. I was changed by it. This book is a powerful cry by Leonard Ravenhill for a life of holiness, a demonstration of the power of God, and faithfulness to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

I made the "mistake" of reading this book on the eve of taking three finals tomorrow at Bible school. I used time I could have devoted to studying for these tests to read this book instead. I do not regret it for one second.

I think Leonard Ravenhill was one of the most prophetic writers of this century. This book is an excellent example of the writings of a Holyspirit filled man.

I read the 1979 version of this book. It made a strong impression on me. This book confirmed my impressions on the direction of the United States. It has made a difference in the way I pray for others and has given me a renewed passion for God.
