Life Out of Death by Jessie Penn-Lewis

Those Christians prepared to abandon self to God will find invaluable help from these pages. The early chapters are based on Spiritual Torrents by Madame Guyon and some material on union with God by Professor Thomas Upham. The remaining chapters are pure vintage Penn-Lewis—clarifying, in her unique way, many aspects of the subjective work of the Holy Spirit in the human soul. First-time Penn-Lewis readers and long-time fans alike will find much to savor in this small but powerful book.

Jessie Penn-Lewis (1861–1927) was a powerful speaker and writer who was used by God to guide multitudes of Christians into a deeper experience with God through identification with the cross. She was a frequent speaker at large conferences for the deepening of spiritual life such as those at Mildmay, Keswick and Llandrindod Wells. She also ministered to hungry audiences in Russia, Scandinavia, Switzerland, Canada, the USA, and India. She was also a prolific writer.
