BOOK REVIEW 2 - GOD CAN DO IT AGAIN (BY Ms. DOLLY)

Kathryn Kuhlman- “The woman behind the miracles” one of the most prominent evangelists in the late 90’s, known for her crusades and the innumerable healings in her meetings - A person who allowed the Holy Spirit to manifest through her. In the foreword to this book she writes beautifully that she is no miracle worker, she is just a woman and every time a miracle happens, she marvels just like the crowd, she weeps as the people weep.

This book ‘God can do it again’ is not a theology book or a story book, it is the witness of some of the many thousands who were healed in the meetings of Kathryn Kuhlman. As you read through the pages you can see the pain, the agony and the hopelessness faced by the common people.

Fred Burdick, was one such person who was happy with his 2 kids and wife, living as a building contractor in California. But his happy life didn’t last long as a tragic accident disabled him for the rest of his life. Suffering in intolerable pain was not only it, but he had to see his daughters cry over his bed every night asking him, “Dad when will you walk again?” It pierced his heart every time he saw his family praying, asking God to heal him. His pain and his situation had turned him a skeptic as he lost faith in God. He was sure about his future, that he would spend the rest of his life in bed. But his wife had heard something else. She had heard about a woman preacher, in whose meetings people were healed. The girls & his wife prayed every night that God would heal him in that upcoming meeting. Fred thought they were going mad about this lady preacher & he was not ready to go anywhere for he knew there was no hope left for him. But Fred couldn’t do anything as his family forced him to the meeting. He sat there looking at the preacher and thought all the people there were nuts. Just as he sat there, she called out and said, someone’s spine is healed over there. He didn’t want to believe, he hadn’t prayed for a miracle, he didn’t even ask, but there he was healed and his life turned over.

This is one of the many stories put together in the book. Fred writes, “If God could heal a skeptic like me, He can heal you too”.

If you are looking for a miracle in your life and you want to increase your faith in God, then this is the book you should definitely study. As you read the true incidents from their very words, a new hope, a new strength will rise and you will start to believe in miracles, not in some part of the world but in your life, today. Yes, the same God who did it there can & will do it again in your lives too. GOD CAN DO IT AGAIN.

BOOK REVIEW 1 - GOD'S GENERALS (BY Ms. DOLLY)

Roberts Liardon, is the author of this book who diligently worked for two decades on this book. God appeared to him at the age of 12 and God’s one of the direct missions was to research the lives of these warriors and he has been collecting and studying about their lives ever since. When you and me run for café and shopping he would have appointments and engagements with very old men and women to have interviews regarding the lives of the preachers. How wonderful God has used Roberts to bless millions of people like us.

This is the book of the Holy Spirit and as Dr.C.Peter Wagner said, this will encourage you and strengthen you to succeed in whatever purpose God has for you in His kingdom’. As Morris Cerullo, the famous preacher said this is destined to be a spiritual classic.

Gods generals were diamonds in the rough mostly unsophisticated, uneducated by man’s standards – yet God recognized who possessed the unique characters. He could use if they surrender their call. Sometimes we see the great evangelists and preachers and wonder how talented and special they should be. 

In this book Liardon shows that God chooses weak vessels and uses them mightily if only that person is just available in His hands. The book details the lives of 12 people that were powerfully used by God with all signs and wonders following. The 12 people are

John Alexander,  Dowie Maria Woodworth Etter,  Evan Roberts,  Charles F Purham, William J Seymour,  John G Lake,  Smith Wiggelsworth,  Aimee Semple Mc Pherson,  Kathryn Kuhlman, William Branham and  Jack Coa A.A Allen.

Some of the familiar names Kathryn Khulman, Smith Wigglesworth, John G.Lake all reminded me the power of god manifested in this world and how those periods in history are marked for God’s deliverance and healing power in the entire societies. This book not only shows the successful ministry life of the people, but it also shows how careful we should be in handling God’s power and glory so that we shouldn’t be deceived by the devil. The life histories just took me into the very lives of those dear and admired, reputed people, the very generals of God along with God’s generals mentioned in Hebrews chapter 11.

If you want to read a classic spiritual book about the life of God’s saints, then definitely this is the book for you. Young people who are sure about God’s calling in their lives to do His work, should study this book to know the real path of ministry, deceptions put by the devil and how to come back even when a fall occurs. Go, get it and be blessed.
