The one word review from the late Leonard Ravenhill: "Excellent."
From the introduction: The great object of this book is to describe, in their own words so far as possible, the deepest spiritual experiences of the most famous Christians of all ages and times. The author has spent much of his time for years in the greatest libraries of Europe and America, searching the whole range of Christian literature to glean from it the most spiritual and helpful Christian experiences. He believes that this book contains the very cream of the Christian literature of all ages, and trusts that it will be the means of leading many into "the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ" (Romans 15:29).
