The Early and the Latter Rain (1856)

The Early And The Latter Rain is a book written by James Smith and originally published in 1856. The book is a Christian work that explores the concept of the early and latter rain as described in the Bible. The early rain is seen as a metaphor for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit that occurred at Pentecost, while the latter rain represents a future outpouring of the Spirit that will occur before the end of the world. Smith uses biblical references and personal anecdotes to explore the importance of these two rains in the life of a believer. He argues that the early rain is necessary for the initial conversion and growth of a Christian, while the latter rain is needed for the final perfection of the believer. The book is divided into chapters that explore different aspects of the early and latter rain, including their significance, the conditions necessary for their occurrence, and the blessings that come with them. Smith also discusses the role of prayer and personal holiness in preparing for the latter rain. Overall, The Early And The Latter Rain is a thoughtful and insightful exploration of an important biblical concept. It offers practical advice for Christians seeking to deepen their faith and prepare for the coming of the Lord.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
