Description
Maria Woodworth-Etter was considered one of the most significant evangelists of the late 19th and 20th centuries. Unlike many other writings about her, this present work focuses on the unique manifestations that set her apart from other ministers of her era, and on the persecution that they engendered. That persecution arose from three sources: (a) the press, (b) other ministers, especially within her own denomination, and (c) her husband. This persecution led to an eventual breakdown. When she finally reentered ministry, that ministry had largely waned in power. This theme forms the focus of this book which emphasizes the period of her life from the time she entered ministry around 1880 until the time of her second marriage in 1901.
