Want to know about George Jeffreys?, May 27, 2000
This review is from: George Jeffreys:A Ministry of the Miraculous (Hardcover)
If you want to know about the life of George Jeffreys, do not buy this book. Instead of being called "George Jeffreys: A Ministry of the Miraculous," it should have been called "Elim: A Ministry of the Miraculous," because instead of telling anything about Mr. Jeffreys, all it does is recount the first 14 years or so of the Elim Pentecostal Church in the UK.
The book is not a biography. Rather it is a history book regarding the Elim Church: it's founding in Belfast, Ireland, and it's subsequent growth and move to Wales and England.
I'd say that the only redeeming quality of this book are the eyewitness and personal testimonies of salvation and healing, and newspaper accounts of various crusades.
If you want to read a good history book about early Pentecostalism in the UK, then purchase this book. If you'd like to read a biography about George Jeffreys, you'll have to find another book...then please tell me about it, because I'd also like to read it.
