I am praying it will have very large circulation and be heard by many! the testimonies of the few that have heard this sermon testify of its needfulness to be heard.---Prayer and Suffering (October 31/2005) comment id: 581Reviewed by: Sir_EdwardWhat strikes me about this sermon is not the sermon itself but the passion of Ravenhill's prayer before he begins. It is pure, passionate and honest. What a far cry from so many prayers today. The sermon itself cuts againt the grain of so many even today -- choosing to suffer is not a terrible popular concept -- "God bless me, don't call me to suffer for you!" is the prayer of many today, but Ravenhill brings us back to Biblical reality about suffering and following God and serving him.

I believe the Body of Christ today, has need of more Leonard Ravenhill's today. Most of what could be called giants in ministry have already finished there course here, and to have passed on to be with the Lord. And about that I would have to say, it's Heavens gain and our lost. It would seem that as for most preachers today, that when they do talk about the "Cross" [preach "Christ cruified"), they can't seem to talk more than 10 minutes about it. That is, when they do talk about it. But here is a man who talked for more than an hour about it. When it comes to unfolding the perfection of the work of the new covenant atonement (that is very different than th
