Overview

The War on the Saints is a look at spiritual warfare and, in particular, the work of demons on Christians. The book covers such topics as: Satanic deception, passivity, deception & possession, the path to freedom, victory in conflict, and war upon the powers of darkness. About the Authors Jesse Penn-Lewis(1861-1927), was a Welsh evangelical speaker and author of a number of Christian evangelical works. She was involved in the 1904-1905 Welsh Revival, one of the largest Christian revivals ever to break out, although the revival was abruptly shortened with the mental and physical collapse of one of the leaders, Evan Roberts. Penn-Lewis traveled extensively as a spokeswoman for the YWCA. Her travels included audiences in Russia, Scandinavia, Canada, the U.S., and India.Penn-Lewis was influenced by the reformed South African writer Andrew Murray among others, and her books contain quotes from him and references to his works. Frank Buchman, founder of the Oxford Group, credits Penn-Lewis with helping him to turn his life around from depression when he heard her speak at a Keswick Convention. She was a major chronicler and wrote an article each week in the "Life of Faith". She authored several books like War on the Saints, The Cross of Calvary, The Cross-The Touchstone of Faith, and The Law of Passivity. Lewis was an ardent supporter of Dispensationalism.Evan John Roberts was born in Loughor, Wales in 1878. Raised in a Calvinistic Methodist home, he was a serious child who attended church regularly and memorized scripture at night. From the age of 11 to 23, he worked in the coal mines alongside his father.In 1904, Roberts began studying for the ministry at Newcastle Emlyn. Attendance at a service held by evangelist Seth Joshua in Blaenanerch led to an experience that formed Roberts' belief in the "Baptism of the Spirit". In October of that year, Roberts began speaking at a series of small meetings. These appearances led to his involvement in the Welsh Revival. He was soon attracting congregations numbering thousands.Roberts soon succumbed to the pressure of his rigorous schedule, and, in 1906, suffered a physical and emotional collapse. Evan Roberts died in 1951 at the age of seventy-three. He was buried in a family plot behind Moriah Chapel in south Wales. Today, a memorial column commemorates his contribution to the revival.
