This is a book that greatly moves one's heart. I've yet to meet a Christian who hasn't thoroughly appreaciated this book. Jonathan Goforth was a great man of God, and this book touches on his insights into a true walk with Jesus Christ.

It is good to read a sober account of revival. God was really able to use the man (and his wife) to bring about growth. The principles here serve to remind us that God desires our whole, undivided heart.

An inspiring account of the way in which God used Jonathan Goforth's utter obedience and commitment to accomplish remarkable work in China. We can be sure that the results of that work are still present in today's China, having an impact on the growth of the Christian Church there, even though it was almost 100 years ago.
It was typical of the man's humility that he restricted this book to telling only of the work of God in revival, and said nothing of the enormous sacrifices and privations of himself and his family during their years in that country. He does mention the many who were martyred, which should be an inspiration to us as we live our comfortable lives.

we are now Reciving Revival in Memphis tn equal to and greater than the days of the welsh revival in 1902,3 i used to get grived to see work like Brother Goforth sale for such a small sum...Folks die out to self,Receive ye THE HOLY SPIRIT, not in speaking in tounges or under some false impresenation but RECEIVE YE THE HOLY GHOST and we HE hath come HE will teach you lead and guide you into all THE TRUTHS
great Help to me has BEEN and will Be THE RECORDED SERMONS OF WILLIAM MARRION BRANHAM Hear what thus saith THE LORD

This is an excellent first-hand account of Goforth's experiences as he preached throughout China and saw the Lord use him in miraculous ways. My only disappointment with the book is that I wish he had spent more time detailing his thoughts on revival and why the Lord was able to use him so effectively. He does deal with this briefly in the last chapter, but the majority of the book is simply descriptions of his experiences.

By My Spiirt by Jonathan Goforth - Canadian missioanry to China and Manchuria, though he was based in the former.

Goforth was a mighty man of God, grewatly influnced by the writting of Finney, a true missionary to China and Manchuria who saw revival in both nations. Well worth the read of a modern reprint of an 1920s book.

Onother good revival book Revival Fires and Awakenings, Thirty-Six Visitations of the Holy Spirit - A Call to Holiness, Prayer and Intercession for the Nations
