Smith Wigglesworth
Must read for anyone who wants to grow in faith. A classic for every Christian who believes in God’s ability to transform lives through his miraculous power. (Christina Claypool)About the Author Smith Wigglesworth (10 June 1859 - 12 March 1947) was a British evangelist who was influential in the early history of Pentecostalism. Wigglesworth believed that healing came through faith, and he was flexible in his approach. When he was forbidden to lay hands on audience members by the authorities in Sweden, he preached for a 'corporate healing', by which people laid hands on themselves. He also practiced anointing with oil, and the distribution of 'prayer handkerchiefs' (one of which was sent to King George V). Wigglesworth sometimes attributed ill-health to demons.Ministering at many churches throughout Yorkshire, often at Bethesda Church at Swallownest (on the outskirts of Sheffield), Wigglesworth claimed to have made many prophecies. He also had an international ministry. He ministered in the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Sweden, the Pacific Islands, India, Ceylon, and several countries in Europe. Some of his sermons were transcribed for Pentecostal magazines, and these were collected into two books: Ever Increasing Faith and Faith that Prevails.He continued to minister until the time of his death on 12 March 1947.
