About the Author

Jonathan Goforth was a pioneering missionary whose life and writings continue to inspire generations of Christians around the world. Born in Canada in 1859, he felt a profound calling to spread the Gospel in China, where he served for over three decades alongside his wife, Rosalind, enduring immense hardships including the Boxer Rebellion and personal tragedies. Goforth's fervent preaching led to widespread revivals, emphasizing the power of the Holy Spirit in everyday faith. His book 'By My Spirit' captures his experiences and teachings on divine empowerment, drawing from his frontline encounters with God's transformative work. Through his passionate narratives, Goforth bridges the gap between missionary zeal and accessible spiritual insight, encouraging believers to rely wholly on God's strength rather than human effort.
