Dallas Willard writes "Deeper Experiences is the one book other than the Bible that has most influenced me. ... Readers should take from Lawson's book the simple but profound truth that they, too, can know by experience the truths of Christ and His kingdom that are set forth in the Bible: that if with all their heart they truly seek God, they will be found and claimed by Him."

Lawson describes the spiritual experiences of Old and New Testament characters and Christians from Tertullian to D. L Moody and General Booth and how these experiences transformed their lives. He chooses people from varied walks of life and across all denominations. Although the external circumstances and manifestations are very different, the essential Christian experience described is always the same. It is the baptism, or filling, or gift, of the Holy Spirit. This edition is the unabridged original. (386 pp.)
