Charles G. Finney tops my list of Christian heroes. I first discovered him around 1985, and over the next few years, I couldn’t get enough of his writings. If you go to Amazon, you’ll find many versions of his writings…some versions better than others (you can also find nearly everything for free online).
Finney was not only used in his own time, but his ministry has benefited many other ministries that have come since, including William and Catherine Booth’s (Salvation Army), Jonathan Goforth (Presbyterian missionary/revivalist in China), and Leonard Ravenhill.
This is the condensed version of the original text. It contains all of the meat of the Memoirs, and is great for those who need a good introduction to Finney.
