Defining Moments is a fascinating look at the remarkable ways in which God has used ordinary people to change history. But it is about more than history alone – it illuminates the present and unveils the future. Prophetic in nature, this book reveals how God wants to work in each of our lives to fulfill His purposes – today, tomorrow, and in the years to come.
Author Bill Johnson highlights the significant traits and contributions of many well-known revival leaders, including John Wesley, Charles Finney, Dwight L. Moody Maria Woodworth-Etter, Carrie Judd Montgomery, Smith Wigglesworth, John G. Lake, Evan Roberts, Rees Howells, Aimee Semple McPherson, Kathryn Kuhlman, Randy Clark, and Heidi Baker. He explains the impact these leaders can have on us today as we respond to the life-changing truths revealed through their life stories.
There is power in knowing the testimonies of men and women who experienced God in a defining moment and said yet to His unique call on their lives. It is a power that inspires us to hunger for God in such a way that we, too, will have an encounter with Him that launches us into the world of the “impossible,” enabling us to fulfill a greater measure of our destiny. Read this book with a sense of readiness, and watch what happens.
