Before I started to read it, I knew what to expect. When I started actually to read the first chapters, I couldn't put it down. When I finished it, this is all I can say: This is an alarming book; it will lead you to your knees.

In "Sodom Had No Bible," Leonard Ravenhill contends that the Church needs another Pentecost. "We need God to send another cauldron of fire upon another upper room to another moribund band of believers." Asking God to fulfill His promise of a widespread outpouring of the Spirit is what Ravenhill gave his life for. This book stirs its readers to also claim the promises of God through prayer.

Good Ravenhill. He lacks a use of punctuation at times, but his message is great. There are a couple of biographies on the second part of the book. Great stuff!
This book was so convicting...
Cualquier libro de este autor es difícil de leer. Hiere la sensibilidad cristiana. Te desafía hasta la médula. Enciende (en vez de apagar) al Espíritu Santo que está dentro.
En la misma tónica de "Why Revival Tarries?" (¿porqué no llega el avivamiento?), el autor nos habla claramente sobre lo difícil, sacrificado pero al mismo tiempo, gratificante de la vida cristiana. El cristianismo no es y nunca será un juego.
¿Porque el título? Si Sodoma, que no tenia iglesias, cristianos, seminarios ni Biblia ...more

One of Ravenhill's earlier writings (1971), Sodom Had No Bible is a plea for passionate pursuit of Christ in the midst of a morally and spiritually degrading society. It is certainly not as good as Why Revival Tarries, however, it has the same potential to stir the soul for those "who have ears to hear." This book is just as relevant today as it was in 1971....maybe even more so. Overall, a book worthy of investigation by any serious minded Christian.

This is a great book. Written by a very powerful man. I got bored at the end with the autobiographies of certain early 19th-20th century preachers.

This is one of my favorite books, and one I have read more than once. Its hard to put down, and would have it finished within a couple of days.
Was a bit dry. Enjoyed reading about past preachers...very interesting and inspiring.
Great book! Ravenhill is always convicting
This is a fantastic book!
A short and convicting book that calls Christians to live with boldness and to live in the Spirit. This books main goal is to show that the mission before the church to make disciples can only be accomplished by the power of the Spirit. Ravenhill gives many examples of how men have failed and how men have taken up the mantle to bring about revival via the Spirit of God. A timeless book that many could benefit from reading today. A lay person could benefit from this, but it is specifically writte

Very little biographical information is available for Leonard Ravenhill. He rarely spoke of himself which is likely a reflection of his belief in exalting Christ and not self. Most of what we know about Ravenhill is from sources that knew him and the details he provided in sermons. He was an evangelist born in Leeds, Yorkshire, England in 1907 and was used by God in revivals in Great Brittan befor
