Unlike all the other Wigglesworth books I've read, this book is especially powerful because it's a NEW book (1993). It's so good to hear Madden affirming that THIS generation truly can know God like this past hero of the faith. For the hungry, I think it will strengthen your feeble knees and lift up your weary hands as you search for the utter fullness of God. (It has mine.) Those who seek truly will find! So let your hunger propel you right on through to Him. "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they SHALL be filled."

Everything about this book is insipired by the Holy Spirit. P.J. Madden's desire is to give the christian a viable way to join "God's End-time Army." In fact, Madden claims (I hope he wouldn't lie) that he felt impressed to write this book, with unpublished material, but when he made no headway, he abandoned the prodject. He lives in Australia, and when he made a trip to the Home of Peace, an old missionary home, in Oakland, CA, he found thirty-seven messages of Wigglesworth's!

Each of the six chapters begins with a story from Wigglesworth's life that illustrates the sermon to follow actually lived out. The wonderful thing about this book is that its focus is not to teach more about Wigglesworth's life, but to teach the reader to walk closer to Christ. Madden does this by following each of the sermons with five or six life keys. He picks out the meat of the sermons and expounds upon them using the Wigglesworth's life, previous sermons in the book, the word of God, and just plain writing what the Spirit placed inside of him.

This book WILL help you walk closer to the Lord if you prayerfully read it with an open heart.

Immediately, God will grasp your heart through the words spoken by Mr. Wigglesworth to the point of overwhelmness. P. J. Madden did a great job in conveying an understanding of the nature of Smith Wigglesworth to the point that you will desire the same desire as Wigglesworth, a brokenness of spirit toward God. My faith was built up to the point of overflowing everytime I picked up the book. A must read for anyone whose desire is to know more of God.

This sequel to The Wigglesworth Standard follows the same format as the other but what stuck with me was Madden's teaching on the cross. We all know we should love the cross and love to know nothing "save Jesus Christ, and him crucified" but I personally struggle to grasp the fullness of the cross. And I mourn that the crucifixion story bores me too much of the time. And so I was thrilled to receive a new revelation of the work of the cross in the life of the believer through this book. (It got me preaching the cross to my wife and just about anybody else I could get to listen. :)) So, if you desire a new look at the cross then I urge you to read this book. (It's a totally different look than Nee's Normal Christian Life, for example.)

mr madden sure knows how to select great foods for this book. ihave great respect for his ability to eat. this is a very userfriendly cookbook, & i have successfully tried severalrecipes,,,they are fantastic. he may be a loudmouth, but he knows howto feed that big belly! :-)

John Madden-I salute you! I grew up listening and watching you coach and provide excellent commentary on NFL games throughout my life! I always wanted a cookbook that dealt with those wonderful tailgates that you displayed on your TV shows, but never got a chance to give recipes! Thanks for "filling in the BLANKS"!!! You are a great man and I love this cookbook!

While many of the receipes are for large groups, the basic ingredients are here, including humor and barbecue tips for both novice and top gun. The review of other stadium and facilities for those who want to travel with their team let you know what to expect in Seattle or Dallas, for instance, and to me, that is worth the price of the book alone. Last year I gave the book to many of my male and female friends as a Christmas gift.
