CHARLES FINNEY, a young lawyer, came into personal contact with Christ, and from that moment his life was completely transformed.
"The impulse of my soul," Finney recounts, "was so impetuous that I rushed to pray in the room next to my study. There was neither light nor fire in it, yet it seemed entirely illuminated to me. As soon as I entered and closed the door behind me, I felt as if I met face to face with the Lord Jesus Christ. I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I had the sensation of an electric wave coursing through my entire being: waves upon waves of love. I could not express this reality with different words: it seemed to me that it was the very breath of the Lord. I remember distinctly feeling as if immense wings were fanning me... a wonderful love was poured into my heart. I wept aloud with love and joy."
This fascinating biography presents the interested reader with the reality and power of the baptism of the Holy Spirit for a life of living faith.
