{"product_id":"2940151377447","title":"A Hero Of Faith And Prayer: Life Of Rev. M. W. Knapp","description":"From the introduction:\u003cbr\u003eThe life of Rev. Martin Wells Knapp was so unique and striking and many-sided, so beautiful in its simplicity, so fruitful in noblest achievements, that it fully deserves a permanent place among the biographies of great souls, the saints of God...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book will be helpful in many ways. First, it gives us an inside view of the Divine workshop in which God fashioned His precious servant, and fitted him to be a chosen instrument for the accomplishment of great good. Here are the furnace-fires of affliction, the anvil of suffering, and the hammer of pain, the rasping and polishing tools of trial and commingled defeat and success, sorrow and joy, out of which there came this giant fitted for achievement and storm and battles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgain, this story will inspire hope in the breasts of the obscure and humble. How few start under more unpromising skies, or end their earthly career in such radiance of sunset glory!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis biography also will illustrate the tremendous power of a truly Christian woman's influence. It rarely falls to the lot of any man to have such a prayerful, sanctified mother, and two such sanctified wives as God gave to Brother Knapp. They, and Bessie Queen and Mary Storey all sanctified, were potent forces in the inner life of this receptive and appreciative soul. Bessie's contributions to this book will be the gems of the whole. I here acknowledge my indebtedness to her account of his last days.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLastly, the book affords a remarkable illustration of the power of faith and prayer and the transforming influence of the sanctifying baptism with the Holy Ghost in a life. Who can account for the transformation of the timid boy depicted in these pages into such a courageous great-heart, or explain the worldwide influence of the humble country circuit-rider, whose early death was mourned around the globe, save on the principle of the Pentecostal enduement of power from on high and the heart-cleansing baptism with the Holy Ghost? This humble man blazed in the sky of Christian thought like a star of the first magnitude. Leave out the permanent factor of an abiding and indwelling Christ and the overshadowing influence of the Holy Ghost upon him, and an explanation of his remarkable career is impossible. No one would be so quick as he to give God all the glory. He shall have it all...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMay his God be ours, and a portion of his spirit rest upon each of us! May the perusal of these pages prove a blessing to many hearts!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Table of Contents are as follows:\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: ONE OF GOD'S SURPRISES\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: HIS PARENTS, BIRTH, AND BOYHOOD — ANCESTORS\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: GOING TO COLLEGE — FINDING HIS LIFE COMPANION, AND THROUGH HER FINDING GOD\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: MARRIAGE — ENTERING THE MINISTRY — EARLY PASTORAL EXPERIENCES — SANCTIFIED\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5: THIRD AND FOURTH PASTORATES — REVIVAL EXPERIENCES\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: A LIFE OF FAITH — REVIVAL WORK — TRIED AND TEMPTED AND TRUE — BOOKS AND REVIVALIST\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7: GOING DOWN INTO THE DEEPS\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8: THE FURNACE SEVEN TIMES HEATED\u003cbr\u003eChapter 9: TRIAL AND DELIVERANCE\u003cbr\u003eChapter 10: LIFE'S WORK AND DEVELOPMENT IN CINCINNATI\u003cbr\u003eChapter 11: GREATNESS IN SERVICE\u003cbr\u003eChapter 12: A POTENT INFLUENCE\u003cbr\u003eChapter 13: A GROWING POWER\u003cbr\u003eChapter 14: COURAGE TO VENTURE\u003cbr\u003eChapter 15: WITHDRAWING FROM THE METHODIST CHURCH\u003cbr\u003eChapter 16: LEANING HARD ON GOD AND PERSECUTED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS' SAKE\u003cbr\u003eChapter 17: NEARING HOME\u003cbr\u003eChapter 18: EMANCIPATION — TRANSLATION\u003cbr\u003eChapter 19: LIFE AFTER DEATH THROUGH A HOLY INFLUENCE\u003cbr\u003eChapter 20: OUTPOURINGS OF SYMPATHY AND SORROW\u003cbr\u003eChapter 21: A STREAM OF HOPEFUL SORROW\u003cbr\u003eChapter 22: THE HERO PROMOTED","brand":"Jawbone Digital","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069053911280,"sku":"2940151377447","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940151377447_p0.jpg?v=1764010565","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940151377447","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
