Publisher's summary

In God’s Generals, Roberts Liardon will help you recapture God’s glory with compelling spiritual biographies of some of the most powerful ministries to ever ignite the fires of revival. Liardon faithfully chronicles their lives in this work, along with their teachings, and their spiritual discoveries.

Four of God’s generals who you will meet include:

  • William J. Seymour, the son of ex-slaves, who turned a tiny horse stable on Azusa Street, Los Angeles, into an internationally famous center of revival
  • Aimee Semple McPherson, the glamourous and flamboyant founder of the Foursquare Church and the nation’s first Christian radio station
  • Smith Wigglesworth, the plumber who read no book but the Bible - and raised the dead
  • Kathryn Kuhlman, the beloved evangelist whose miracle-filled meetings drew millions of skeptics to faith...and you will meet eight more "Generals" who dynamically demonstrated the Holy Spirit's power

Liardon also draws crucial life applications for you from the lives of these mighty warriors. God's Generals will help you learn to obey the spirit's leading in every area of your life - and keep your ministry powerful and successful! You can gain the victory in your life and ministry. Let God's Generals show you how!

Tremendous and inspiring

An amazing account of the great healing evangelists and early Pentecostal pioneers of embracing the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I will listen to this one over and over.

Great book!

I really loved this book! It is so full of wisdom and helpful examples. Inspirational and educational!
The narration was a bit difficult to listen to. But the content of the book made up for it.

Experience Teaches Wisdom

I love and appreciate sharing the experiences of these generals. Experiences certainly teach wisdom, even someone else's.
Thank you Roberts.

Inspiring and insightful

I love how Roberts Liardon framed the good, the bad, and the ugly of these revivalists’ lives. It was clear that his goal was neither to glorify nor condemn any of them, but to honor what God accomplished through them. It left me feeling like God could do those things again through me, or anyone who is willing and pure in heart.

excellent story

again, another excellent collection of biographies told by Roberts Liardon. I like his perspective on each person. However, I am not impressed with the narrator.

Very rich and inspiring

Excellent! So very interesting and inspiring. I’m looking forward to listening to it again. But I think I may want to check out another in Robert’s series. He’s done some amazing and valuable research.

Narrator sounds like a machine.

The narrator doesn’t sound human. He is monotonous and mechanical. I can’t recommend any books read by him.
