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

Following a period of great revival, Charles Finney reached a point of physical exhaustion which resulted in his writing a series of articles on various subjects to continue the work of discipleship in the new believers scattered throughout the regions of revival. These practical instructions were published in the Oberlin Evangelist periodical and took the form of letters addressed to specific themes. They now are collected and edited by Pastor L.G. Parkhurst to appear for the first time in book form. As well as letters concerning sanctification, major themes include Finney's letters: • To New Christians • To Ministers • To Parents • To Christians
Charles Grandison Finney, the famed fiery revivalist of the Second Great Awakening, has been regarded by some as the greatest Christian evangelist since the days of the apostles. It is estimated that 500,000 people were converted to Christ by his bold, sincere, preaching in the course of his devoted life. Finney seems to have had the power of impressing the consciences of men with the necessity of holy living in such a manner as to procure the most lasting results above any other, with a full 85% of converts remaining steadfast to the end. In this booklet, Finney identifies the causes, signs, and symptoms of backsliding in the heart, even before it manifests outwardly. Following that, he prescribes the cure, that we may forever be true, in a sincere and lively faith.
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.
In this sensitively updated classic work Finney teaches the reader how we know when revival is needed, how to prevail in prayer for revival and much more.
Known for his effective evangelism, Finney was a prayer warrior; often his prayer list contained requests for the conversions of entire towns. Here his teachings on prayer are illustrated with examples from his own answered prayers. The 30 devotional studies include questions for thought or discussion to help readers grow in their walks with God.
