Principles of Revival is an edited version of Finney's first book of published sermons, Sermons on Important Subjects. It is distinctively different in that it focuses on the psychology of revival and conversion versus the method-oriented approach of the other Finney volumes on revival. Newly edited by L.G. 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
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.
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.

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.
