Goforth of China
Born on a farm in Canada, Jonathan Goforth's ambition as a young boy was to study and become a politician. Little did he know then what the future held in store. At the age of eighteen he was converted to Christianity and immediately became interested in missionary work. After attending Knox College in Canada, he set out for China with his wife, Rosalind. Many hardships and trials followed. Their first child died in the spring of the following year. Others were later claimed by malaria and menengitis. In 1900 the Goforths, along with others, had to flee before the Boxer uprising. Their escape was a miracle in itself. Goforth of China is the amazing story of a man with unusual vision and determination.
"By my Spirit"
Dr. A.T. Schofield says: "One thing to be borne in mind is that since the days of Pentecost there is no record of the sudden and direct work of the Spirit of God upon the souls of men that has not been accompanied by events more or less abnormal. It is, indeed, on consideration, only natural that it should be so. We cannot expect an abnormal inrush of Divine light and power, so profoundly affecting the emotions and changing the lives of men, without remarkable results. As well expect a hurricane, an earthquake, or a flood, to leave nothing abnormal in its course, as to expect a true Revival that is not accompanied by events quite out of our ordinary experience."

Miracle Lives of China
These are soul-stirring stories recording God's miraculous power in the conversion of men as seen in mission work during the forty years these missionary warriors labored in China. The vivid pen-sketches titled "The Blind Chief," "The Idol Maker," and "The Gambler's End" take the reader into the heart of Chinese village life. The triumphant accounts of God's grace in the lives of "A Chinese Shakespeare" and "A Faithful Pastor," and the record of how the students were reached makes for vigorous and enheartening reading. The closing chapter contains a brief sketch of the famous Christian General, Marshall Feng Yu-hsiang. This companion volume to By My Spirit is rich with incidents from the lives of these two saints of God. We see, in reading such a volume as this, that we are still serving a miracle-working God.
How I Know God Answers Prayer
“These incidents of answered prayer are not more wonderful or more worthy of record than multitudes the world over could testify to, but they are written and sent out simply and only because I had to write them or disobey God.”—Rosalind Goforth Proof of God’s Power and Loving Faithfulness This collection of stirring testimonies is an everlasting tribute to the reality of a powerful God who responds to the prayers of His children. Serving with her husband, Jonathan, on the front lines of China’s Boxer Rebellion at the dawn of the twentieth century, Rosalind Goforth was an eyewitness to the dramatic and miraculous ways in which the mighty hand of God responds to prayer during times of intense struggle. This timeless Christian classic stands as a challenge for all believers to never give up reliance on God in prayer, no matter how great the obstacles.

A biography of late nineteenth and early twentieth-century Canadian missionary to China, Jonathan Goforth.
When the Spirit's Fire Swept Korea
Jonathan Goforth was a pioneer missionary to China who longed to see God work in revival power. In 1904 and 1905 he was inspired by reports of the Welsh Revival, and then in 1907 he heard about a revival that had broken out in nearby Korea. He decided he must go there and witness the outpouring of God's Spirit firsthand in the hope that the fires of revival and renewal would follow him back to China on his return. He was not disappointed. After visiting some of the main mission centers in Korea and witnessing what the mighty power of God had done and was still doing, Goforth returned to China and began reporting to the churches there the mighty movings of God's Spirit he had seen and heard a...
When the Spirit's Fire Swept Korea
MY BELOVED MOTHER, Mrs. Jonathan Goforth, would have been writing this introductory word, but last May 31, at three A.M., at the age of seventy-eight, she laid down her pen which had been so signally used by the guiding hand of God. Like the husband whose life and work she shared with such heroic devotion through nearly fifty years in China, Mother was spared any long illness and suffering, passing suddenly into the "gloryland." Her face lit up with expectation, and her last words rang with confidence: "This is the summons from my King. I am ready to go! " And now, being dead, they are both yet speaking to our hearts through their writings. By My Spirit, the one book Father wrote alone, has ...
