Children of the Second Birth

"Children of the Second Birth" is a compelling collection of personal narratives documenting the profound spiritual transformations of individuals from various walks of life. Written by S.M. Shoemaker, Jr., a prominent leader in the Oxford Group movement and a significant influence on the foundations of modern spiritual recovery programs, this work explores the practical reality of Christian conversion and the concept of being "born again" in a modern context.

Through a series of intimate case studies and testimonials, Shoemaker illustrates how faith can radically alter human character and address deep-seated personal challenges. The book captures the spiritual energy of the early 20th century, serving as both a historical record of evangelical ministry and a timeless exploration of the power of renewal. Readers interested in the history of religious movements, the psychology of religious experience, and the early spiritual roots of the twelve-step tradition will find this work to be an illuminating and inspiring resource. "Children of the Second Birth" remains a classic testament to the possibility of individual change through direct spiritual experience and dedicated faith.
