I'm going to begin a series of quotes from Carrie Judd Montgomery (1858-1946). She was an editor, woman preacher, faith healer, evangelist, radical evangelical, and writer. She was influential in the American Divine Healing Movement in the late 19th century. She played a significant role in promoting Faith healing and Pentecostalism throughout her writings.
Carrie traveled internationally throughout her life to share her story of her own miraculous healing and encourage people in their faith. Through her close friendship with A.B. Simpson, she eventually became a part of the forming of the Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA). Simpson continually encouraged and created space for her to share her story. She later left the C&MA to minister with the Assemblies of God. Learn more at www.wikipedia.com, or "friend" her on Facebook, where she has a fan group.
"We must know from God's own Word that there is a higher life than the up and down experiences of most Christians..."
--Carrie Judd Montgomery, 1887
