Smith Wrigglesworth's writings are very balanced from the Baptist perspective.

I cannot speak to his complete theology as I haven't read his work in a while, nor did I do any major back ground study about him. I am comfortable recommending his work to others.

You should enjoy it. I have several books on him. I enjoy reading and being challenged by a true man of faith.

I have read a lot of books on him. He was very much in contact with God. They said his prayer closet was in a room with a homemade alter against the wall. The wall was full of dryed up spit from where he prayed so hard.

He had a huge healing ministry. He was knock on for how rough he got with people especially when he prayed for them.

I read a book about him. He had amazing faith. When his wife died, he prayed for her to live again and she did. She told him her work was thru and to let her go. He said ok and she laid back down and went back to Heaven.

Yeah I even read where he kicked a baby, the baby was healed so what can you really say

I would like to know more about this. I heard from the pulpit, that the story went something like that she died, and he pulled her lifeless body off the bed, and stood it up against the wall and commanded her life to come back into her. when it did, they went on together in a "revival".

wonder how much of the "Todd Bently" antics are legendary.

I still like to say his name

Rambo, I am reading the passage from the book now. It says he was off preaching somewhere when she died. Her body was taken back to their house for his return. She was lying on the bed when he rebuked death and ordered it to give her up. She then opened her eyes and asked him "Smith, what have you done.
