Life in the Spirit

Jessie Penn-lewis

Jessie Penn-Lewis (1861-1927)was an English evangelist and author. Her father was an engineer and her grandfather was a Calvinist Methodist minister. As an eyewitness to the Welsh revival of the early 1900s, Penn-Lewis wrote War on the Saints 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. Mrs Penn-Lewis also established and edited the periodical The Overcomer. War on the Saints is considered the authoritative textbook on spiritual warfare by many Christians.
