These four books are available individually, but each is well over the cost of this single book. Get it! Read it! Be blessed!

5.0 out of 5 stars St. John 14:12 is still true today., May 21, 2002

By 

Rocco B. Rubino "Rocco R." (Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Greater Works (Paperback)

Smith Wigglesworth may be thought of as one of those "old-timers" from an age gone by, but if there is one thing to be learned from this, as well as his other writings, it is this: Jesus promised that "the works that I do shall ye do also, and greater than this shall ye do, because I go to my Father who is in Heaven." John 14:12 and Heb. 13:8 are as true today as the day they were written.

If we as Christ's body could ever apprehend the simple teachings of this simple man, who was endued with "power from on high," we would indeed fulfill the aforementioned scriptures, as well as Mark 16, to name just a few. Bro. Wigglesworth believed that the Christian's Divine Right, as purchased by the Christ of Calvary for His people, was to live on a "higher plane." He truly lived a life of holiness, which produced a faith that could stare down the enemy; this is said not to honor or worship the man, but to give us faith that "all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."

Greater Works is one of those "unknown" Christian Classics that belongs on the bookshelf of every believer, along with Charles Finney and F.F. Bosworth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spiritually Edifying!, October 12, 2006

By 

Island Halfbreed "Woman of Virtue" (The South) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Greater Works (Paperback)

I enjoyed this book. Its a huge compilation on several aspects of spiritual growth (faith, healing, spiritual gifts, etc).
The accounts of Smith being used by God to raise the dead, heal the sick, drive out evil spirits was so phenomenal, it almost makes you feel convicted that you are not living on a higher spiritual plateau. It definitely urges the reader to live 'above the norm' and to keep growing in your relationship with Christ.
I would give it 10 stars if available! Please get it if you are seeking greater levels in Christ.
