Parkhurst, the material cannot be found in print anywhere else (except for a few readings that relate to Principles of Victory) Major themes include: • The necessity of preaching to the conscience. • The inevitability of opposition to the gospel. • The operation of the sinner's mind. • Motivating the sinner to repentance. • The relationship in conversion between personal initiation and the work of the Spirit

Parkhurst to appear for the first time in book form.

Containing the potent Revival Fire, and the brief, but compelling The Backslider in Heart, Two by Finney exposes its readers to thoughts and ideas which have influenced numerous revivals around the world. Revival Fire was written toward the end of Finney's life. As such, it is a particularly significant book in that he was looking back to analyze and evaluate the results and problems which accompanied his revivals. Some of the topics discussed are: superficial revivals, unhealthy revival excitement, spurious conversions, why there are so few revivals, hindrances to a revival spirit, too much emotionalism in some groups, and in others too much fear of emotionalism. In The Backslider in Heart, Finney identifies the causes, signs, and symptoms of backsliding, even before it manifests outwardly. Following that, he prescribes the cure, that we may forever be true, with a sincere and lively faith.
