Dad & Mom Goodwin: School of The Holy Ghost Book One

This book delves into the lives and ministries of Rev. and Mrs. J.R. Goodwin, affectionately known as "Dad and Mom Goodwin." Renowned figures in the Christian faith movement, the Goodwins' journey began in 1935 when they attended meetings led by Smith Wigglesworth, marking their deep dive into full-time ministry a year later. In 1938, their paths crossed with a young Kenneth Hagin, whom they mentored, shaping his understanding of spiritual gifts and prophetic ministry. The Goodwins' church was a hub of spiritual activity, witnessing pivotal moments like John Osteen being filled with the Spirit and delivering his first Charismatic sermons. Their influence extended to notable figures like Billye Brim, Buddy and Pat Harrison, Marilyn Hickey, and many others, leaving an indelible mark on their lives and ministries. "Dad & Mom Goodwin: School of The Holy Ghost" celebrates their legacy, focusing on their remarkable ability to merge sound doctrine with the vibrant operation of spiritual gifts. This balance was a cornerstone of their ministry, making their church one of the most Spirit-filled and orderly, as acknowledged by Kenneth Hagin. The book captures the essence of their teachings, their impact on the Charismatic movement, and their unwavering commitment to scriptural truths married with the dynamic workings of the Holy Spirit. This narrative not only chronicles their influential journey but also serves as an inspiring guide for those seeking to understand and practice spiritual gifts in their own ministries. It's a tribute to two of the most significant yet humble servants in the Christian faith movement, whose teachings and practices continue to resonate with believers worldwide.
