Would you expect a forty-year-old Victorian lady, married but childless, seriously weakened to tubercular damage, to be called to be one of Christ's messengers for about thirty years? ...

Would you expect her to visit Scandinavia, the Imperial Court of Russia, America, Canada, Egypt and India, to hold private and public conferences? ... To provide counsel and help to hundreds and hundreds of missionary workers world-wide? ... To speak from Keswick platforms, organize local conventions for converts, and set up her own conferences and magazines for Christian workers? ... To create a soul clinic, a prayer sanctuary, and a bookstore? ... To provide guidance documents on debatable subjects like healings, tongues and women's ministry? ... To author five religious classics and numerous booklets still in publication today?

This book is the story of that lady, her co-workers, and her many prayer partners, including Evan Roberts, widely known from the Welsh Revival 1904-1905. Her name: Jessie Penn-Lewis. Her message: »To obey the will of God whenever and whereever He calls, to perceive the Holy Spirit's manifold ministries, to fully trust in Jesus Christ crucified and exalted, and to be delivered from all doubts, deceits, and dangers.«
