The Wizard
H. Rider Haggard
Read by Michael Monhollon
Described by the author, best known for his King Solomon's Mines, as "a tale of victorious faith," this story begins on a Sunday afternoon in an English church. Most of the book, though, is set in Africa, and the adventure story is as engaging as any of Haggard's African tales. What makes this one different is the religious question: What has happened to miracles in the church? Is there any power left in Jesus' promise, "Whoso that believeth in me, the works that I do he shall do also, and whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do"? (5 hr 49 min)

I Have Kept the Faith
LuellaMargaret
What a great Haggard! Normally I can only tolerate a little of his supernatural stuff, but even with much this was excellent. It wasn't one-sided this time, but rather two spiritual forces at war. And one man was the catalyst: not a great man, but simply a willing one. I can only wish Haggard wrote more of men like Pastor Owen. '"Saturate me with the oil of the Spirit that I may be aflame. But flame is transient, often short-lived. Canst thou bear this, my soul – short life? … Make me thy fuel, Flame of God.” ~ Jim Elliot
astonished by a wonderful tale

excellent for people worshipping or seeking the risen Lord. From a born- again perspective, I admire Haggard for creating a character such as Pastor Thomas Owen. I know this is a fiction but I wonder if the events may have been based on real events.
