War on the Saints

[ReformedWretch]

by Jessie Penn-Lewis with Evan Roberts.

I was just given this book (full and unabridged version).

Anyone have any thoughts on it?

I've read both the abridged and unabridged versions years ago. I don't recall being particularly edified at all by it. It seemed to me that so much of the subject matter (discerning demonic and/or false phenomena during times of revival) was so subjective and/or mystical that I came away from it rather confused. Watchman Nee, who is also very subjective and mystical at times, quotes her quite often in his book The Spiritual Man -that is where I first heard of WOTS. I have since distanced myself from that viewpoint with it's tri-partite man and carnal vs. spiritual distinctions. It only seems to have produced confusion in my experience.
