Deeper Experiences of Famous Christians

James Gilchrist Lawson

J. GIlchrist Lawson was an American Baptist evangelist and prohibitionist who was also active as an author and editor. This book has been of enduring value and influence as who delves into the deeper, inner spirituality of notable Christians of historical influence. His primary focus is on the experience of the baptism, or infilling, of the Holy Spirit, or entire sanctification, and how this transformed the character and activity of these Christians. After drawing from characters of the Old and New Testaments and the early saints of the church, Lawson gives penetrating portraits of such figures as John Wesley, George Whitefield, George Fox, Madam Guyon, Charles Finney, D.L. Moody, William Booth, and many others. - Summary by Larry Wilson (11 hr 45 min)
