This is one of my favorites. It's OUTSTANDING, and for a book written quite a few years ago, it is on mark.
Great book! Like most of the holiness and revival writers they seem to be ever contemporaries.

I am only part of the way through it, but I really enjoy it so far. I would recommend it.
I also just received another Ravenhill book in the mail called "America is Too Young to Die." I am looking forward to reading it as well.
This is one of my favorite Ravenhill books.
[b]Sodom Had No Bible (Paperback)

There is a sermon on SermonIndex.net with the same title:
[b]Sodom Had No Bible

I would recommend reading Why Revival Tarries, Revival God's Way and Revival Praying before Sodom Had No bible (in that order). I really think that Sodom Had No Bible is a good book, but not his best, and it really works well as a supliment to his other books which are more universally applicable. in SHNB he goes into long rants on communism, which is good if you have a historical perspective, but not as relevent today (and probably why it hasn't been reprinted recently)... whereas the three books listed above are more generally applicable.
I did really enjoy the second half of SHNB where he did profiles of preachers... but he does this in almost all of his books and preaching, but in SHNB it was especially well done, I read it through in one sitting (the preacher profiles) and went back and re-read them!
Would anyone know how many "pages" are in this book. For the amount specified on amazon for just a paperback? Not to detour me from purchasing this awesome book, am just curious?

Sodom has no bible, the "bethany" edition I have has 202 pages.
It is one of the larger books that Ravenhill wrote and very much worth its price.
I've seen it sell for as little as $10 on ebay, just keep your eyes open for it... I believe there is an online book seller called 'rare christian books' who might also be able to get you a copy more inexpensively.
Yesterday I bought a copy at a used bookstore for $5.50! My dad already has a copy so I was very happy to get my own at such a low price. :-)
I also got 'Revival God's Way' for a little over $2. Has any one read this one?
Wow, thats awesome, I wish some of the used book stores around here had some good books... Only thing i've found worth reading was John Bunyan's pilgrim's progress.
I think i once saw a book of Jonathan Edwards sermons, i should have picked that up...
Oh, Ya! This is one of my most favorite books. I recomend it to every one. Any one of Ravenhills books are an excellent addition to any one's library.
