About the Author

Born in Connecticut in 1792, Finney was nearly thirty years of age before he turned from his skepticism regarding Christianity and wholeheartedly embraced the Bible as the true Word of God. He gave up his law profession in order to spread the Gospel and soon became the most noteworthy revivalist of the nineteenth century Second Great Awakening. In 1835, upon the request of Arthur Tappan, Finney established the theology department at Oberlin Collegiate Institute (today known as Oberlin College). He served there as a professor of theology as well as pastor of Oberlin's First Congregational Church until a few years before his death. In August of 1875, Finney died in Oberlin following a heart ailment.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Christian Classic, March 31, 2000

This review is from: How to Experience Revival (Paperback)

I have decided to purchase a few more copies to give away to my church friends, because it's a great-little, inexpensive book about being revived (something most Christians desperately desire these days). I also found that you do not have to read it in sequence, so it is a great-little 'companion' to take to work and read now and then, starting at whatever chapter interests you. A Christian classic.

This review is from: Experiencing Revival (Paperback)

What an awesome book! I have been a Christian practically all my life - 30+ years. A friend of mine gave me this book, and when I started reading, I didn't want to put it down. This is a wonderful book. It will certainly draw you closer to the Lord!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book on Revival, June 26, 2002

By 

Tekrat (Toledo, OH USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Experiencing Revival (Paperback)

This is a great book. The book is compilation of Finneys reasoning, methodology, partially application of church and personal revival.

Every aspect of revival is explored including how:
* A revival is started
* How to implement a great revival after one is started
* How not to have a poor revival
* What should be done after a revival has run its course

If your looking for a strong work on what a church revival is I strongly recommend this. I personally am a fundamentalist and found this book to be very useful and truthful.
