George R. Hawtin

As a spark, which ignites an explosion. What began as a sincere personal quest for deeper truth in the Spirit there at the Sharon school is even today regarded as a focal point of what came to be called the Latter Rain Movement. On February 11, 1948, a young woman at the Bible school prophesied that a great revival was about to break out. The next day, according to George Hawtin, the Holy Spirit fell with great power. Day after day the glory and power of God came among us. Great repentance, humbling, fasting and prayer prevailed in everyone.

George Hawtin would write and publish a series of 32 books on various vital subjects dealing with deep Biblical truths. Many of these books first appeared as articles in his monthly publication called, “The Page” from the 1960’ to the 1980’s. One of the subjects which the Lord revealed to him was concerning the true identification of God’s people, Israel, the family of Abraham. He writes: “In God’s dear book, many wonderful things have been written that are seldom taught or even mentioned among the Christian congregations of our day. Truths that are pointed, plain, and tremendously vital to spiritual understanding are passed by unnoticed and unmentioned as things irrelevant and inconsequential.”.
