The Books of Leonard Ravenhill

His sermons are linked freely in the Twentieth-Century Preachers section. His books are another matter — they remain in print and under copyright, so this page is a reading guide: what each book is, where to borrow it, and where to buy it. We link; we do not take.

Leonard Ravenhill died in 1994; his books remain under copyright with his estate and publishers. Grace Team University does NOT host, download, or reproduce his books. This page is a reading guide: what each book is, where to borrow it (Internet Archive lending library), and where to buy it. His SERMONS are linked freely in the Twentieth-Century Preachers video section, and SermonIndex — which works with the Ravenhill ministry — posts many of his sermon audios and transcripts free at sermonindex.net. No officially free full-book edition from the rights holder was verified for any title below as of October 2026; if that changes, this page will say so.
