True Christianity consists in being like God, by acting on His principles and having His feelings toward everything and everyone around you. One of America's greatest preachers, Finney pinpoints the many roadblocks to personal revival and shows how you can have the character of God.
Charles Grandison Finney was a leader in the Second Great Awakening. He has been called The Father of Modern Revivalism. Finney was best known as an innovative revivalist, an opponent of Old School Presbyterian theology, an advocate of Christian perfectionism, a pioneer in social reforms in favor of women and blacks, a religious writer, and president at Oberlin College.
He is not to be mistaken for his great-grandson, Charles G. Finney (1905-1984).
