Product Description
When his daughter experiences a life-changing conversion to Christianity, a celebrated New York attorney takes the Holy Spirit to court in an attempt to win her back. With a hand-picked jury and a sympathetic judge, the atheistic attorney sues the church in which his daughter was saved, accusing them of teaching fictional religious concepts that will undermine America. In a dramatic courtroom thriller, a young defense attorney -- boyfriend to the daughter and former intern to the celebrated lawyer -- defends the church by attempting to prove the Holy Spirit exists, only to discover that the Holy Spirit is fully capable of proving himself.

5.0 out of 5 stars * * * * * FIVE STAR REVIEW, April 27, 2005
Harrison Shaw is a poor young lawyer in New York about to get the opportunity of a lifetime. Living in the great melting pot of immigration, poverty and wealth that made up New York in the late 1850's he's already overcome staggering odds to become a lawyer. When he's offered a clerkship with the most prestigious attorney in the city, it would seem that Harrison is on his way up, about to leave the slums of Brooklyn for the mansions of Millionaire Row.
Eager to move forward, Harrison doesn't look for and doesn't see the strings attached to his new place in society. Before he can see the intricate pattern of the threads, he's caught in a web of favors, lies, bribery, vendettas and destruction. His mentor, J.K. Jarves, sucks the life out of anyone who crosses him. When Harrison decides he can't be part of that predatory world, he himself becomes the prey.

Harrison Shaw's life and career are destroyed by his decision to walk away from J.K. Jarves. He's not able to walk away from Victoria Jarves, J.K.'s daughter so easily though.

This book is the first in a series set during the time of the Great Revival of the 1850's. I love this setting. The Great American Revivals, with D.L. Moody and Charles Finney and the Great Chicago Fire are proof; Proof that no matter how evil the times, no matter how corrupt the society, the Holy Spirit is able to light a fire in the hearts of people and transform a whole nation.
This book was seamless and absorbing. I started the first chapter about ten minutes before my kids got home from school (you think I would have known better) and I was supposed to be tutoring one of my neighbors in high school French. The French lesson didn't go so well. We did about an hour of work and then we adjourned to the living room to read. It was torture to put the book down even that long. I finished it that night, and when I put it down, all I said was, Wow.

The Great Revival started with six men and a lunch time prayer meeting. It turned into a movement where tens of thousands repented and surrendered their lives to the Lord. If that isn't inspiration for you, I don't know what is.

I loved the story, I loved the setting, but most of all I loved the reminder. The reminder that God
uses small people to accomplish huge things. All he asks for is trust and faith. He does the rest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, August 16, 2006
By Tome Thumb (Kentucky) - See all my reviews
This book is a real page-turner. Cavanaugh & Bright shine in this tale of a poor young lawyer who is smitten with the rich lawyer's daughter & must prove that the Holy Spirit exists to win her hand. Highly recommended. Great Christian fiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not By Might, but By My Spirit!, July 25, 2007
By Marc Axelrod (Potter, Wi USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Harrison Shaw is a legal intern for the renowned New York lawyer J.K Jarves in the year 1857. But when Shaw resigns the internship because on account of philosophical differences, Jarves feels jilted. Moreover, in part because of Harrison's witness, his daughter has come to faith in Christ.

So an incensed Jarves sues Harrison's church and uses the trial as a platform to attack and destroy Christianity, and as an opportunity to quiet the flames of revival sweeping the States.

There is also an interesting romantic link in the book, and several twists and turns in the storyline that give the book depth and substance. This is another great offering from the creative and godly Jack Cavanaugh.

The speeches and articles in the book are also stirring and well crafted. I don't read a lot of fiction, but this is one book I'm going to recommend to others.
