This book is a Smith Wigglesworth collection like no other! Smith Wigglesworth (1859-1947) was one of the most solid, powerful, and influential men of God in all of church history. His teachings on the Holy Spirit, the Pentecostal movement, the power of speaking in tongues and the Word of God is unparalleled in many ways. However, until this book, there has not been a collection focused solely on the miracles that took place in his ministry.

So many powerful books have been written on topics like prayer, faith, love, how to study your Bible, a myriad of biographies and character studies, among countless other topics, but the study of topics like meekness and quietness is virtually unheard of. And yet, these are incredibly important in our Christian walk, especially in this day where we are constantly bombarded with the world promoting the exact opposite of those things. We are constantly distracted, and quick fame with fortune has become the ultimate goal in life for the majority of people today.

There have been a lot of fascinating periods in the history of the United States, but the period of the pioneers is particularly captivating. To live in a time when there was still so much unknown to explore, the adventures these men and women had, and the things they saw for the first time must have been like living a bit like Alice in Wonderland. Sometimes it was beautiful, sometimes it was horrifying, but always full of wonder.

Men and women of God have been studying the life of Paul the Apostle since the dawn of the New Covenant. Having written 13 (or perhaps 14 if you include Hebrews) of the 27 books of the New Testament, his writings, breathed by the Holy Spirit, are vital to Christians everywhere. His boldness in proclaiming the truths of the New Covenant was not only revolutionary, but caused him to live in constant threat of death.

When Pennsylvania state trooper Calvin Morrison is swept into a parallel universe by a freak accident, he finds himself in a world where gunpowder is the key to power—and its production is tightly controlled by a ruthless theocracy known as Styphon’s House. While stranded in the Princedom of Hostigos, a small territory on the brink of obliteration, Calvin must use his understanding of modern chemistry and warfare to help the people of this new world fight for their freedom.

We, Yanamamo, only speak our stories. We never mark our words on paper like you nabas. These words from my mouth—if you are seeing them on paper, you must be a maba. Because you are a naba, there are many things I must explain, so you can understand the story of my people—Jungleman. So begins the riveting first person account of Jungleman, a shaman for the Yanomamo Indians. A fascinating and misunderstood people group, now for the first time, a powerful Yanomamo shaman speaks for his people.

This book was written and compiled by Hudson Taylor’s son, Frederick Taylor, along with his wife Geraldine. They gathered never-before-published letters from Hudson and his wife Maria, as well as several accounts and testimonies from other witnesses to their lives. These are some of the most powerful writings in modern church history, and show the inner life of one of the greatest missionaries since the apostles.

There are few people who have so given their lives for the lost like Jonathan Goforth (1859-1936). His impact on China is undeniable. His ministry was characterized by dedication, resilience, and a deep commitment to sharing the message of Jesus Christ. As a young man, he experienced a profound spiritual awakening during a revival meeting, which marked the beginning of his lifelong devotion to spreading the truth of Jesus. Jonathan Goforth's life story is a testament to the transformative power of faith, perseverance, and an unwavering commitment to the call of God.

Gone are the days of legendary men like Daniel Boone. There are still heroes, yes, of course, but not like those early pioneers who risked everything to go to lands completely unknown and untamed in search of a home. These brave men and women went literally into the darkest hearts of land and faced constant death on every side in an incredibly unique period of time.

Rev. William Branham was born in the Spring of 1909 into the poorest of families, deep in the hills of southern Kentucky. When he was a young boy, his family moved from Kentucky to southern Indiana, where he would live the majority of his life. Soon after moving to Indiana, the voice of God spoke to him from a whirlwind and told him, "Don’t you never drink, smoke, or defile your body in any way. There’ll be a work for you to do when you get older".

There are many editions of the writings of St. Francis, and many biographies about him, but here in one volume are both, plus the complete text of the late medieval work The Little Flowers, which did more to establish the legend of the man than any other work. This edition includes the complete Road to Assisi, Paul Sabatier's groundbreaking and foundational biography of the saint, first published in French in 1894; the complete Francis in His Own Words: The Essential Writings; and The Little Flowers, thus offering the best introduction to St. Francis yet available between two covers.

The book that you have found is not just a book. It is a treasure that has been virtually hidden and forgotten for over 100 years. The Welsh revival is one of the most famous and impactful revivals in modern history. However, there has been very little written on it by actual eyewitnesses because of the belief that no person should take any credit for what happened.

Charles Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers, pastored the Metropolitan Tabernacle for 38 years, and spent many of those years in a state of powerful revival. Multitudes came from all over the world to hear him speak. His average Sunday morning services hosted up to six thousand people listening intently to the Word of the Lord. While it is fairly common today to see churches of thousands, in some places there seems to be one on every street corner, back in Spurgeon’s day, it was nothing short of miraculous.

When one listens to a true story of a life like that contained in this book, it would be easy to think that the person must be a hero, or a legend unlike any other. In most cases, this would be true. However, in the case of the Oregon Trail, Ezra Meeker was just one of hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children who travelled the treacherous 2,170 mile long road that claimed, according to Meeker, a number of lives that will never truly be known.

Hudson Taylor was one of the greatest, most effective Christian missionaries in the past several centuries, and changed the nation of China forever for the glory of God. He lived a life of extreme sacrifice and spent many years suffering for souls.

There have been many revivals throughout history. Some being so small and contained to a specific area that they have never found their way into the history books, like that of an unreached tribe deep in the jungles of Brazil reached by a small team of missionary students, to the mighty rushing winds recorded in rural churches of Alaska. But very rarely do revivals come with such a fiery spreading and global impact as the Azusa Street Revival, which took place from 1906 to 1908.

There are many different forms, arguments, denominations, and doctrines within the Christian faith. Diving into the various theories and histories can be a lengthy and often confusing journey. This collection of sermons concisely discusses many views on salvation and faith. Anyone who has felt overwhelmed by church history, has started questioning their own theology, or is simply looking to learn more about Christianity will find great help and comfort in The Plan of Salvation.

Frank Bartleman is largely known for being an eye witness and historian of the legendary Azusa Street Revival that began in a small church in California in 1906, and took the world by storm. However, he was much more than that

John G. Lake was a man known for his nation changing ministry of healing. While there are many volumes that have been written about this great man of God, there has never been one like this!

A. A. Allen is one of the most controversial figures from the Voices of Healing movement in the 1950s. While having a thriving ministry that produced thousands of salvations and incredible supernatural healings, he was found dead in his hotel room from alcohol poisoning. Many have questioned how a man who struggled with a sin that ultimately killed him could have genuinely been used by God in ministry. How could he have truly moved in miracles and the power of God? And yet we have seen the grace of God on the lives of many movers and shakers in the kingdom who struggled with sin.
