GOD HAS ALWAYS DONE MIRACLES IN HIS CHURCH — AND STILL DOES!

The Holy Spirit has never left the Church and neither have His supernatural gifts and manifestations. They have been available in every century — from the days of the Apostolic Fathers, to the desert monks of Egypt and Syria, to the missionary outreaches of the Middle Ages, to the Reformation era and the awakenings and revivals that followed, to the Pentecostal explosion of the Twentieth Century and the increase of signs and wonders in the Twenty-first.

Miracles, healings, deliverances, prophecies, dreams, visions — even raising the dead! — have all been in operation throughout the history of the Church. Anglicans, Baptists, Catholics, Congregationalists, Lutherans, Methodists, Moravians, Presbyterians, Quakers and many others have experienced the supernatural gifts and workings of the Spirit over the centuries.

Miracles and Manifestations of the Holy Spirit in the History of the Church gathers up numerous accounts from a variety of historical sources and provides a handy reference for those who want to know more about:

* How the Church has understood and operated in the gifts and manifestations of the Holy Spirit at various times in history.
* Why the gifts and miracles were more frequently in manifestation in some eras than in others.
* The many ways the Church has ministered in healing and deliverance.
* How the Holy Spirit manifested in great revivals.
* How the river of gifts and miracles continues to flow today.

"Miracles and Manifestations of the Holy Spirit in the History of the Church is an excellent resource for any student of the Bible. Jeff Doles has done a masterful job of relating historical facts in a compendium that is actually both easy to read and impacting. He clearly debunks the theory that miracles and manifestations of the Holy Spirit ceased when the apostles died or when the New Testament canon was completed. This book is well worth reading. You will be amazed at how much was going on in the church, even during what we call the “Dark Ages.” You may also be surprised at the number of supernatural events that occurred during the ministry of Reformers and Revivalists since those dark ages.

"As I discovered in my research for my own book, Signs and Wonders – To Seek or Not to Seek, God’s primary method of making believers out of unbelievers is the supernatural activity of the Holy Spirit. Jeff Doles’ book will help every believer to accept the renewal of the miraculous in our own day. My strong advice for every Christian is to get and read this book."
— Ben R. Peters, Open Heart Ministries Author and International Evangelist
