For Such a Time as This is the meticulously researched, tenderly written biography of the legendary Maria Woodworth-Etter, a woman before her time, who preached of repentance, salvation, holiness, healing, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Her success inspired Aimee Semple McPherson and paved the way for Kathryn Kuhlman, Marilyn Hickey, and Joyce Meyer.
Historian Grant Wacker said of her, “No one commanded greater awe in the Pentecostal circles.” Carl Brumback described her as “looking just like your grandmother, but who exercised tremendous spiritual authority over sin, disease, and demons.” But she was also very human, as flawed and fragile as we all are. Warner strikes a delicate balance for the reader between revealing the woman and portraying her power. A must-read for every spirit-filled Christian.
- Biography that will convince you that you’ve met Maria Woodworth-Etter – and loved her.
- Years in development and writing, the book is the result of research into hundreds of publications from the early 1880s to 1924.
- Rare photographs, never seen by the public, that have now been donated to the historical archives of the Flower Pentecostal Heritage Center in Springfield, Missouri.
