To God be all the Glory

This was so help and I know that the author is truly a man of God because of the way it states that he is not writing the book to condemn any one but rather to help us learn from the mistakes and blessings of how these God's Generals walk and lived their lives with God.WOW, I REALLY CRIED THOUGH WHEN I READ YESTERDAY ABOUT CHILD HOOD OF JACK COE. IT WAS SO SAD AND I FIND MY LIFE TO BE VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT HE WENT THROUGH IN THE US ARMY BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN THERE AND LIVED WITH SUCH A ZEAL FOR GOD THAT THE REST OF THE SOLDIIERS THOUGHT I WAS SO CRAZY THAT I NEEDED TO GO AND GET MENTAL EVALUATION WHICH IS HUMAN NATURE THEY PRESECUTE THOSE WHO ARE SO SOLD OUT FOR JESUS AND SOMETIMES IT EVEN HAPPENS IN THE CHURCH BUT IF TRULY GOD BE FOR AND WITH US WHO CAN BE AGAINST US.

THE BOOK WAS A BLESSING. THANKS BROTHER LIARDON JOB WELL DONE AND TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY.

Enlighting and Encouraging Historical Biographies

I enjoyed this book very much. Twelve well researched and written historical biographies of 9 men and 3 women who's lives demonstrated the fruit of signs and wonders. The author uses their stories to encourage readers to stretch their faith in the future.

Very good history of some well known preachers

This is a fantastic book containing the short biographies of twelve influential evangelistic people with healing ministries:

John Alexander Dowie
Kathryn Kuhlman
Aimee Semple McPherson
William Branham
William Seymour
Charles Parham
Evan Roberts
Smith Wigglesworth
A. A. Allen
Jack Joe
Maria Woodworth-Etter
John G. Lake

The book is from a Pentecostal/Charismatic perspective and as the title suggests, discusses where these people had success and where they had failure. Personally, I found the book a treasure to read.

Awesome! Incredibly inspirational.

God's General's is one of the most inspirational books that I can remember reading. In addition, it gives the history of some of the most powerful men and women of God since New Testament times. This book is a must read!

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

A balanced, thoughtful, entertaining and useful look at some of God's major powerplayers over the past 100 years or so. Concerning the likes of Kuhlman, Wigglesworth and Branham, most writers either choose to vilify them or worship them. Author Roberts Liardon chooses a more accurate middle road that exemplifies a love for the truth combined with his own helpful Pentecostal insights.

This is a VERY interesting read that Spirit-filled Christians particularly will find both fascinating and useful. Useful because there is much to be learned from the successes and failures of these saints -- much that can be applied to our own lives.
