Smith Wigglesworth on Prayer, Power, and Miracles

Smith Wigglesworth · 2006
68/100
👎 Skip It

For readers inside the Pentecostal or charismatic tradition, Wigglesworth's sermons are primary-source gold — Scripture-saturated, historically significant, and still emotionally moving. The study guide makes it usable for groups. But the unverifiable miracle claims, the controversial physical-healing methods, and the theology that equates sickness with demonic attack will require discernment from any reader, and will put off most outside the tradition. A niche title with real value for its audience, but that audience is specific.

✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: Explicitly Pentecostal theology; miracle claims not independently verifiable; sickness-as-demonic framing may concern some readers. We still scored it 68; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
