According to one reader of God Was at Midway: The Sinking of the USS Yorktown (CV-5) and the Battles of the Coral Sea and Midway, “Chaplain Stanford E. Linzey's book-God Was At Midway-has incorporated the author's love of God, wife, and call to duty. This is the ultimate war story of love and sacrifice, the Godly wife who prayed for her husband and stood with him no matter what, while he faced possible death while many of his shipmates suffer horribly.

God Was At Midway is the story of God's divine intervention in people's lives at war, the author's personal life, and in the affairs of the nation as a whole. The Battle of Midway was the turning point of World War II. The complete historical accuracy of Linzey's book places this author on par with the best writers of the subject.”

According to the book description of The Holy Spirit In The Third Millennium, “This work deals with issues surrounding the manifestation of the Spirit in prayer from theological and practical points of view. The treatment is orthodox, yet it is charismatic in tone and practical in presentation. It is a culmination of thirty years of study and experience received from conducting seminars spanning denominational lines. It has broad appeal to charismatic, Pentecostal, and Para church groups, yet it has reached into evangelical, mainline, Catholic Pentecostal, and ecumenical groups because of its reasoned theological and biblical content.

This book deals with theological issues and answers questions that some have been afraid to ask. The author presents a thorough analysis of the Spirit's manifestation with personal examples. The subject is presented in a fresh manner that the modern churchman can receive. For some it may seem too practical, but it has proven itself to be correct approach, as thousands have received the Holy Spirit and His presence has been manifested in our meetings. People have come to Christ and been healed by this message. Simply put, it works.”
