This physically frail but spiritually robust woman had a remarkable ministry which stressed the centrality of the cross of Christ in the Life and experience of the Christian. Her life spanned much of the last quarter of the nineteenth century and the first quarter of the twentieth. She first took her place as a sinner before that cross as the wife of a young British civil servant, and proclaimed its message tirelessly from that time on, not only in her native England but also in Scandinavia,Russia and North America. A frequent speaker at the Keswick Conventions, she started the Llandrindod Convention in Wales, and later the Matlock Conferences Mrs Penn-Lewis has stirred millions through her writings. She contributed regularly to "The Overcomer" which she founded in 1908
"Trials and Triumphs" "Jessie Penn Lewis A Memoir" "In The Mold of The Cross"
Jessie Penn Lewis refers to early days as a time of great spiritual growth and consecration which grew in spite of ill health and a frail body into an astonishing active life. She became God's spokeswoman in Europe The United States and Britain.
These three biographies give a crisscross view and not a redundant look at this most extraordinary woman of God. She brought spiritual warfare into focus as a viable teaching and need to know for a spiritual worker.
