Review Quotes




"In her newest book, Through the Waters, Lori Wagner introduces readers to one of yesteryear's most dynamic Apostolic evangelists. When I was just a boy, Sister Willie Johnson held powerful revivals in my home church. I was nearly mesmerized by her anointing and genuine Apostolic ministry. I highly recommend this book."

--Jack Cunningham, Virginia District Superintendent of the United Pentecostal Church International

"Through the Waters unfolds the story about the life and ministry of Willie Johnson in ways that bring to life that irrepressible wisdom and Holy Spirit anointed gift that those who knew her treasure so highly. This book is itself a gift."

--Dan Scott, Pastor, Christ Church Nashville, Nashville, TN

"If you would like to be encouraged or challenged to be more faithful and dedicated in your walk with God, add Through the Waters to your library."
