Wigglesworth
The Complete Story
by Julian Wilson
GoodBookStall Review:
Suspend your disbelief and just read, learn and be amazed at what an uneducated man can achieve by following God’s guidance and acting in faith.
Smith Wigglesworth 1859-1947 was not an attractive man but God does not judge by appearances, He knew that this was the right man to serve him at this particular time. ‘Wherever he ministered he sought to raise his listeners level of faith,..........and critical to building faith, he stressed, was to put faith into action’ (page 100) and this he did to his utmost. Despite his repetitious preaching, based solely on his knowledge of the Bible and no other reading or study, his charisma held the attention of congregations large- even huge – and small, and his particular gift was healing in the name of Jesus. Healing physical and mental conditions and even on occasion raising people from the dead.
He travelled the world and this gruff Yorkshireman, one time plumber, was known more abroad that in the UK. Many were sceptical of his doings, but that did not deter him. This biography will help you to get to know the man he was.
