Principles of Salvation [Paperback]

Charles G. Finney (Author), Louis Gifford Parkhurst (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1989

Although Charles Finney is considered to have been one of America's greatest evangelists, some have felt that his gospel message seemed legalistic and works-related. In Principles of Salvation, twenty of Finney's salvation sermons stand as his definitive statement on biblical conversion.

Combined with Principles of Faith, the thrust of Finney's evangelistic ministry can be evaluated in context and compared with the Scripture he boldly proclaimed. The same Spirit Who anointed this messenger for a past generation can bring his messages to life again for this generation.

Finney's Message of Salvation in the Language of Today

5.0 out of 5 stars Sermons from the Finney Principles Series, August 18, 2004

This review is from: Principles of Salvation (Paperback)

Out of all the Finney books I published for Bethany House Publishers, only "Principles of Prayer" remains in print. I am happy used copies of this book are still available!

I believe those of you who have enjoyed my Charles Finney and Andrew Murray books will also enjoy "Prayer Steps to Serenity," which teaches truths that I learned from studying Finney and Murray for many years. The book follows a 12 Steps and Serenity Prayer format. It is available through Amazon, with ISBN 0595313043. If you know of anyone who is looking for a 12 Step devotional that will help them walk in the power of the Holy Spirit according to the scriptures, you can heartily recommend this book to them. "Prayer Steps to Serenity" was not published by Whitaker House, and it is a larger than a trade paperback (a 9 inch by 6 inch paperback) that includes devotional readings, prayers to encourage you to keep on praying as the Holy Spirit leads, a personal Journey Guide (or workbook), and a Group Journey Guide for prayer and support groups. "Prayer Steps to Serenity" is also supported by two websites that offer a lot of free guides and resources for those seeking more information about Christian recovery and starting Serenity Groups. Go to PrayerSteps.org or SerenityGroups.org for more information or to contact me about Finney.

Thank you for reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Completely Practical and Understanding, March 12, 2002

By

This review is from: Principles of Salvation (Paperback)

This book will not give a religious view of salvation, but a true biblical view of what salvation IS and what it is NOT. This book will prove to you that once you "get saved", you are not necessarily always going to be saved--it all depends on your views of sin. Do you have a worldly view of sin, or do you see sin as God does? This book will set you straight. As you read it, you may think it strict! Yeah, but Glory to God in the Highest, this book may very well be a catalyst in changing your mind on some things and in the end, saving your soul and your spirit from death! An awesome book from an awesome evangelist. All of his works should be read by those who have a serious desire to know what religion has been falsely preaching. I praise God for giving Charles Finney such a profound view of Christianity and the Body of Christ. If you think you have a calling on your life, please do yourself a great big favor and read this book! You will be very glad you did!!!
