About the Author

John Graham Lake was a man of prayer and commitment. You will better understand the quality of his life and his consecration to God by reading his sermons, diary entries, and other writings.John G. Lake was born on March 18, 1870, at St. Mary's in Ontario, Canada. While he was still a child, his parents moved to the United States. At the age of twenty-one, he became a Methodist minister; however, he chose to start a newspaper instead of accepting a church ministry.When his wife entered into a prolonged serious illness, she was miraculously delivered under the ministry of John Alexander Dowie in April 1898. This experience forever altered the directioin of John G. Lake's life and ministry.Lake is probably best remembered for his missionary work in South Africa, but his ministry in the United States was also powerful. One hundred thousand healings were recorded in five years at the Lake healing rooms in Spokane, Washington. Dr. Ruthlidge of Washington, D.C., called Spokane "the healthiest city in the world" as a result.What he accomplished as a result of his intense regard for the Word of God is an example to all Christians of what is possible for any person who will believe and act on the Scriptures. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

This review is from: John G. Lake: The Complete Collection of His Life Teachings (Hardcover)

I am at a loss for words. Dr. Lake's sermons contain some of the most inspiring testimonies I've ever heard, esp on divine healing. What's more is that it is clear that Dr. Lake had a teaching gift as well. My heart really has been seaching for someone in modern times whose life I can look to in order to become more like Jesus. Dr. Lake fulfills that. Many people I greatly respect have been encouraged by this book. It deals primarily with healing, but touches on science, apologetics, faith, love, purity, music, demonic powers, and especially God's anointing.

I loaned this book to an unsaved academic couple one time (German, into Anthroposophy and such) and one of them returned it later saying "I don't know what it was about that book, but I had the most incredible dreams after reading it." There are many stories in the book that will abosolutely inspire you to greater heights in God, and to dream impossible dreams in Him!

If you are interested in being a world changer for Jesus, buy this book and read it. Look beyond the man, and see the awesome things God wants to do with YOUR life in Him.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Best (overall) Book on John G. Lake, July 31, 2000

By 

Curry Blake (Dallas, Texas USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: John G. Lake: The Complete Collection of His Life Teachings (Hardcover)

This book is the most useful book on John G. Lake on the market. However, it is NOT the Complete Collection of Lake's Teachings. There are many, many sermons, prophecies, etc. that are not included in this volume. It is very valuable to the Lake researcher, primarily because it does have so much under one cover. As General Overseer of Lake's organization, The International Apostolic Council, we are the official authorities on Lake's life and ministry. Liardon, while very knowledgable, has deliberately ommitted many references and materials that might have made some of the religious "powers-that-be" angry. ....

This review is from: John G. Lake: The Complete Collection of His Life Teachings (Hardcover)

John Lake's teaching will hit you between the eyes. It will also seriously challenge our modern day church thinking, particularly on the topic of healing. If one should be judged by their fruit then it would be hard to argue against Lake's teaching. Testimony after testimony of God's power through Lake's ministry has caused faith to rise in me. Don't think that this book is outdated because it was written in the early 1900s. His teaching is some of the most profound I have heard. Lake makes the joy and victory of true christian living completely accessible. We truly can do ANYTHING through Christ - read it!
