About the Author

Smith Wigglesworth (1859–1947) was born in England in 1859. Immediately after his conversion as a boy, he had a concern for the salvation of others and won people to Christ, including his mother. He became a plumber by trade, yet he continued to devote himself to winning many people to Christ on an individual basis. In 1882, he married Polly Featherstone, a vivacious young woman who loved God and had a gift of preaching and evangelism. It was she who taught him to read and who became his closest confidant and strongest supporter. They both had compassion for the poor and needy in their community, and they opened a mission, at which Polly preached. Significantly, people were miraculously healed when Wigglesworth prayed for them.

In 1907, Wigglesworth's circumstances changed dramatically when, at the age of forty–eight, he was baptized in the Holy Spirit. Suddenly, he had a new power that enabled him to preach, and even his wife was amazed at the transformation. This was the beginning of what became a worldwide evangelistic and healing ministry that reached thousands. He eventually ministered in the United States, Australia, South Africa, and all over Europe. His ministry extended to the time of his death in 1947.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Spirit for today., March 7, 2002

This review is from: Smith Wigglesworth On The Holy Spirit (Paperback)

If you are interested in the power of God you must read this book! God has done marvelous things throughout history, and men have longed to understand them.

Many believe that God is working with signs and miracles following all around the world. We hear of miracles in South America and Africa, but we do not experience them here at home. When we do hear of God's power in the states it is limited to a few isolated incidents, or static reports of euphoric but intangible incidents.

What part of the equation are we missing? This book may be helpful in clearing up the answers. Wigglesworth's work is completely dependent on the Bible and the lead of the Holy Spirit. Within it there is no divergence from God's inspired Word. Therefore, I find it trustworthy and useful for unlocking our understanding of God's Word.

This isn't a book to casually read in an afternoon. You'll need time to sit with it and your Bible, to study and understand what the Spirit says in the text of the Bible and the life of Smith Wigglesworth.

It wasn't so much what Brother Wigglesworth did but it was his heart for Jesus that drew me to him. He often said that he couldn't go for 15 mintues without a need to read the Word. This is the kind of hunger I want in my own heart.

The miracles that Jesus did through this dear brother were a testament as well but it's the life that was flowing out of him that blows my mind....
