Witness the many accounts of deliverance from diabetes, tuberculosis, demon possession, and even death. Prepare to be overwhelmed as the seed of faith begins to expand and grow in your heart.

About the Author

Smith Wigglesworth (1859–1947) was born in England in 1859. Immediately after his conversion as a boy, he had a concern for the salvation of others and won people to Christ, including his mother. He became a plumber by trade, yet he continued to devote himself to winning many people to Christ on an individual basis. In 1882, he married Polly Featherstone, a vivacious young woman who loved God and had a gift of preaching and evangelism. It was she who taught him to read and who became his closest confidant and strongest supporter. They both had compassion for the poor and needy in their community, and they opened a mission, at which Polly preached. Significantly, people were miraculously healed when Wigglesworth prayed for them.

In 1907, Wigglesworth's circumstances changed dramatically when, at the age of forty–eight, he was baptized in the Holy Spirit. Suddenly, he had a new power that enabled him to preach, and even his wife was amazed at the transformation. This was the beginning of what became a worldwide evangelistic and healing ministry that reached thousands. He eventually ministered in the United States, Australia, South Africa, and all over Europe. His ministry extended to the time of his death in 1947. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every page is life changing., July 10, 1999

This review is from: Ever Increasing Faith (Mass Market Paperback)

I read this book about 2 years ago when I was 15yrs old, and then again, and I still haven't stopped. There is something new every time I read a sermon over. I have read many other books of Wigglesworth and his sermons and this has to be at the top of the list. This compilation of sermons would have to be his greatest in print. There is advice for every situation I'm ever in and I have decided to refer to this book for the rest of my life (second to the bible of course). Last night I read a chapter and it was one of the most awesome times I have had with God for a long while. God is so wonderful. I praise God for sending a man like him to meet the spiritual needs we have in the 20th century setting, and I pray he will contunue to send great men of God like Wigglesworth. I can't even begin to tell you how much his ministery has touched me. "Ever Increasing Faith" is a book that every person, young or old, must read. It reveals to us our place in Christ and confronts every reader with a dare ---- a dare to believe.

This review is from: Ever Increasing Faith (Mass Market Paperback)

Other than my bible, this 176 page paperback is the most dynamic, annointed word from the Lord that I have ever read. If you are desiring an increase in faith and belief in God, this book is for you. I read it every single day The Holy Spirit is so alive in this book through this mans ministry, and the holy spirit is quickened and comes alive almost the same as the prophets in the bible. It is a great encourager and good supplement reading. The annointed wisdom is priceless,...!

This review is from: Ever Increasing Faith (Mass Market Paperback)

Smith Wigglesworth has been described as the "Apostle of Faith". This little book is evidence of the aptness of that description!

Ever Increasing Faith is jam-packed with sermons, eye-witness accounts of his ministry, and reflections on God's goodness, grace and power.

Wheelchair-bound children, old women with cancer, men deaf from birth, and thousands of others were miraculously healed by God during Wigglesworth's ministry. Seven people were raised from the dead, including Polly, Smith's wife.

What is most touching though, is to see his humility, his passion to glorify God, and his earnest desire to be closer and closer to Christ. He was an empty vessel, desiring to be more and more filled with the Holy Spirit. God used him in mightier ways than any other twentieth century evangelist. His wife Polly taught him how to read and the Holy Spirit taught him how to preach. And preach he did, doing the work of God, bringing thousands around the world to the place of wonder, of healing, and to salvation.

This book is a feast for anyone who is hungry for more of God.
