Con Leonardo Ravenhill es imposible ser neutral. Sus conocidos se dividen netamente en dos clases: los que le aman y admiran hasta lo sumo, y los que le aborrecen con acentuado desprecio. Y lo que ocurre con la persona ocurre con sus libros, y particularmente con el que tienes en la mano. Sus lectores, o bien tienen que cerrarlo y correr a un lugar de oración, o se sentirán impulsados a hacerlo pedazos, cerrando su corazón a sus llamamientos y advertencias.
No todos los libros, ni siquiera todos los libros buenos, vienen como una voz de lo Alto: pero yo siento que con éste es así. Lo es porque su autor reside en las alturas, y el espíritu del autor transpira por todas sus páginas.
— A.W. Tozer
Leonard Ravenhill (1907 - 1994)
A revivalist and man of God who sought God's will above all else. He was a man of prayer who practiced what he preached. He wrote the book: 'Why Revival Tarries' which has become a classic on revival. His prophetic edge and burden made him to be respected by some and disliked by others. Yet he stayed true to God's call on his life prayed and pleading for true heaven sent revival."Those who know of Leonard Ravenhill recognize in him the religious specialist, the man sent from God to battle the priests of Baal on their own mountain top, to shame the careless priest at the altar, to face the false prophet, and to warn the people who are being led astray by him. " - Tozer | "Leonard Ravenhill was one of the few men I have ever known who was a true prophet." - David Wilkerson
