Overview

Bringing Life to a Dying World

Legendary author and evangelist Jessie Penn-Lewis believed that it was imperative for believers to understand the significance of Jesus’ sacrifice and what it means for them; for, as she said, “Truth out of place can be poison.” And the truth is found in Jesus’ death and resurrection.
It is only when we identify ourselves with Christ and conform ourselves to His death that we are able to share in His victory. It is only when we become dead to sin that we can lead others to the path of life. By applying the truths outlined in this book, you will learn…

How to answer your calling as a child of God
How to break free from sin
How to find joy in the midst of sorrow
How to gain a deep compassion for others
How to lead others to a life of victory

Join Jessie Penn-Lewis on a journey to discover the cost of discipleship, as well as the joy that comes with leading others to Christ.

Top Highlights

“Conformity to death, and bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, is quite another aspect of the cross, that which is talked about in Romans 6. The believer’s break with sin—through apprehending the death to sin of Christ as the representative Man—is to be definite and decisive. Based on God’s meaning of Calvary declared in Romans 6:6, the believer is to reckon himself dead—not dying—to sin, counting upon the Spirit of God to make this reckoning true. Standing on the basis of being dead to sin, the believer finds the mastery of sin broken. He finds that he is a new creation in Christ Jesus. (See 2 Corinthians 5:17.) Joined to the Lord, he is ‘one spirit with Him’ (1 Corinthians 6:17). His life is hid with Christ in God.” (source)

Jessie Penn-Lewis (1861–1927) was an evangelist and author from England. Born in Victoria Terrace, Neath, her father was an engineer and her grandfather was a Calvinist Methodist minister. Evan Roberts, who was instrumental in the Welsh revival in the early 1900s, stayed with Mrs. Penn-Lewis and her husband, William, for a time. Mrs. Penn-Lewis had been an eyewitness to the revival. Roberts contributed to her book War on the Saints, which was written to counter what she perceived as the excesses of the revival and the deceptions of Satan at work to prevent the true work of God in awakening. War on the Saints is considered a textbook on spiritual warfare by many Christians. Mrs. Penn-Lewis also established and edited the periodical The Overcomer.
