The Great Sweeping Revivals of the Past – Leonard Ravenhill
I read of the revivals of the past, great sweeping revivals where thousands of men were swept into the Kingdom of God. I read about Charles G. Finney winning his thousands and his hundreds of thousands of souls to Christ. Then I picked up a book and read the messages of Charles G. Finney and the message of Jonathan Edwards on “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” and I said, “No wonder men trembled; no wonder they fell in the altars and cried out in repentance and sobbed their way to the throne of grace!”

Can You Sit At Ease? – Leonard Ravenhill

Can you sit at ease in Zion with the world around you DAMNED?
