Norwegian revivalist and seminary professor Ole Hallesby is little known in the Evangelical world today, except perhaps for those who may remember his book on prayer. In Are You Converted, Hallesby insists on the biblical imperative of conversion: the subjective experience of the objective Savior as communicated to the heart by the Holy Spirit through God’s Word. He urges people to enter the kingdom of God through the narrow doorway of repentance–acquiescence to the Spirit’s conviction of sin and the yielding of one’s heart to God.
Though the experiential conversion message may offend some as it did in Hallesby’s day (1879-1961), many who have experienced the crushing oppression of sin will welcome the beautiful prospect of an equally experienced liberation from sin. May God give hope and deliverance to such souls through this new compilation of Hallesby’s writings.
