Summary

"Signs and wonders" characterized the vibrant Smith Wigglesworth's long, faith-filled life: salvations, miraculous healings, and even resurrections from the dead. From the early 20th century right up until his death in 1947 at the age of 87, Wigglesworth, an uneducated Yorkshire plumber, preached and prayed his way around the globe. He raised the "faith temperature" wherever he preached, and his printed sermons have the same effect today. In this volume, Wayne Warner and Joyce Lee have combined 48 of Smith Wigglesworth's most powerful messages with vintage photos, magazine articles, book excerpts, and personal letters to give 21st century readers a rich taste of the man and his message. They want to introduce you to Smith Wigglesworth and, most of all, to his Almighty God. Book jacket.
