Front Cover
Cosimo, Inc., 2005 M12 1 - 220 pages
It is the Holy Spirit who convicts us of sin, who makes us feel how good and righteous, and just and patient God is, and how guilty we are, and how unfit for Heaven, and how near to Hell. It is the Holy Spirit who leads us to true repentance and confession... -from "Preparing His House" This joyful work of devotion and "experiential" religion is part testimony, part prayer book. The author, a preacher who was instrumental in the development of the theology of the Salvation Army, the Protestant evangelical organization, relates stories of the power of the Holy Spirit to transform lives and save souls, and offers meditations, excerpts from Scripture, on His authority. First published in 1906, this is an invaluable volume for anyone seeking to understand the history and ideology of this important Christian sect. American preacher SAMUEL LOGAN BRENGLE (1860-1936) was instrumental in the development of the theology of the Salvation Army. He is also the author of Heart Talks on Holiness (1897), The Way of Holiness (1902), Love Slaves (1923), and Resurrection Life and Power (1925).
