Charles Finney, a brilliant lawyer, came face to face with God one day in a forest on the outskirt of Adams, New York. The amazing consequences of that first encounter on his knees, was so remarkable that it denied description. For more than fifty years, tens of thousands of sinners gave their lives to the Lord, moved by the power and the junction where upon Charles Finney preached the Word of God. The history of his life is a story of half a century of living, perhaps surpassed only by the apostle Paul. Finney got to experience the abundant life to such fullness, that wherever he went, life seemed to flow from him, and to reach other people as the flames of a fire whipped by the wind.
