There are people in the world who completely trust God in all things and walk in assurance, confidence, joy, and peace. We want to be like them, but we don't know how to achieve that level of faith. With his insightful wisdom and scriptural teaching, Charles Finney will challenge you to make Christ your everything--your Provider, Protector, Hope, and Life. In Him you can find salvation, healing, peace, and power. As you begin the pursuit of knowing Christ fully and intimately, you will become more like Him and find victory in your life.
Charles Grandison Finney was a Presbyterian minister who became an important figure in the Second Great Awakening. His influence during this period was enough that he has been called "The Father of Modern Revivalism".
In addition to becoming a popular Christian evangelist, Finney was involved with the abolitionist movement and frequently denounced slavery from the pulpit.
Finney was known for his innovations in preaching and religious meetings, such as having women pray in public meetings of mixed gender, development of the "anxious seat" (a place where those considering becoming Christians could come to receive prayer), and public censure of individuals by name in sermons and prayers. He was also known for his use of extemporaneous preaching.
No man in his day and generation was more signally blessed of God in winning souls than Charles G. Finney. Thousands and tens of thousands in this and other lands were brought to Christ through his instrumentality. It is hoped that this brief study of his life and labors may stimulate others to renewed effort in seeking to bring men to a saving knowledge of Him who is our Redeemer and Lord.
