The Alliance is supernatural, or it is nothing! - early Christian & Missionary Alliance leaders.
Speaking in tongues, divine healing, holy laughter, dreams, visions, prophecy, spiritual warfare, deliverance from demonic oppression --- are these garish excesses of counterfeit revival - to be utterly rejected? Or gold-bearing ore of Holy Spirit empowerment the church needs today?
Nuggets of Genuine Gold shows how outstanding early C&MA and other leaders found the mother lode of genuine manifestations of the Holy Spirit that embodied gospel truth. This treasury of firsthand testimony and wise instruction compiles teaching on the Spirit-filled life from Robert Jaffray, A.B. Simpson, F.F. Bosworth, A.W. Tozer, and many others. Nearly 700 documented nuggets of spiritual gold are organized into this unique handbook on the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit, including many previously little-known testimonies to life-giving manifestations of the Holy Spirit.
This book reveals keys to discerning true, false, and mixed manifestations, and it explains important Alliance teachings, such as the sanctifying baptism in the Spirit; the end-time "latter rain" of apostolic power; and the already-but-not-yet reality of the kingdom of God.
Featuring discussion questions and lists of additional resources, Nuggets of Genuine Gold is perfect for individual, small-group, church-membership, and leadership study and as an easy-to-use handbook on the Holy Spirit.
Paul L. King, D.Min., Th.D., is an ordained C&MA minister, historian, and theology professor who teaches on Alliance distinctives, the Holy Spirit, healing, and leadership training. He has authored eight books, including Genuine Gold: The Cautiously Charismatic Story of the Early Christian and Missionary Alliance and Anointed Women: The Rich Heritage of Women in Ministry in the C&MA.
