A great primer on the baptism of the Holy Spirit. For such a short book, the insights are thought-provoking and incites greater thirst for the experience of God's presence and power manifested in the believer's life. In describing the decline of the spritual life of the Church, you would think he is describing this present generation, but this book was first published in England in 1932! For the young believer, it is a good book to start one on the path of what it is to be on fire for God; for the older believer whose thrist has yet to be quenched, it is a good reminder of what he has left behind for other avenues of what seems to be spiritual power.… (mer)

Samuel Chadwick was born in 1860 and died in 1932. The front cover of the book describes him as "The Preacher Who Burned His Sermons and Caught the Fire of the Holy Spirit."

This book is a surpisingly good primer on prayer. Easy read but very insightful. What was surpising for me is chapter 15 and 16, where he admits that the problem of unanswered prayers, although he insists that God answers prayer, is something not yet fully resolved in his mind; for example,

Chadwick relates about one for whom he prayed for healing but they did not remained sick. He had "prayed earnestly and believingly" for a fellow minister at their church "who died while we prayed. The shock to our faith was overwhelming" (p.118). Don't get me wrong. This was not a discouraging book. It was very encouraging and it does inspire to prayer. It was refreshing to read an author writing on prayer to admit - for the first time in a book on prayer that I have read and without any apologies, attempts to skim over it with feeble excuses, or pointing blame - that unanswered prayer occurs and is personally perplexing. Nevertheless, he also affirms, "I do believe in divine healing" and does so "in spite of the fact that I am often ailing".

For that humble concession alone, the book is worth the read.
