Recommended Resource

As we reflect on Pentecost Sunday—the day the Holy Spirit was poured out and the Church was empowered for mission—God’s Generals by Roberts Liardon offers a timely and inspiring resource to stir our faith. This compelling collection of spiritual biographies shines a spotlight on men and women who lived fully surrendered to the power of the Holy Spirit, much like the believers in the Upper Room.

Each of the featured revivalists—William J. Seymour, Aimee Semple McPherson, Smith Wigglesworth, and Kathryn Kuhlman—was marked by bold faith, deep intimacy with God, and a supernatural ministry that helped spark revival and draw people to Christ. Their stories are not just historical—they are reminders that Pentecost is not just an event to remember, but a reality to walk in. Through their teachings, miracles, and Spirit-filled leadership, these generals demonstrate what a life empowered by the Holy Spirit can look like in our generation.

As you read their testimonies, you are invited to:

  • Recapture the hunger for revival and the presence of God
  • Rediscover the power of prayer, obedience, and the gifts of the Spirit
  • Reflect on how the same Spirit that moved at Azusa Street and in miracle crusades lives in you today

God’s Generals is more than a book—it’s a wake-up call to the Church to live with purpose, boldness, and fire. This Pentecost, it serves as both a historical record and a spiritual roadmap for anyone longing to experience a deeper move of God.

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.

Titus 2:11-14 NKJV
