Vavasor Powell’s Spiritual Experiences of Sundry Believers is a stirring collection of conversion testimonies and providential dealings, compiled from solemn gatherings of saints.
瓦瓦索·鲍威尔（Vavasor Powell）的《诸信徒的属灵经历》（Spiritual Experiences of Sundry Believers）是一部感人至深的归信见证与神圣护理之作为的汇编，采集自圣徒庄严聚会中的真实经历。
The book presents firsthand accounts of individuals brought under deep conviction of sin, some enduring prolonged seasons of terror, doubt, and even suicidal despair before being led to peace in Christ.
本书呈现了第一手的个人见证，记述一些人在深刻的罪之定罪之下，有的经历了漫长的惊恐、疑惑，甚至自杀般的绝望，之后才被引领进入在基督里的平安。
Each testimony is unique, yet they all display the common work of the Holy Spirit in applying the gospel to desperate sinners.
每一篇见证都各不相同，却同样显明圣灵将福音施行在绝望罪人心中的共同作为。
Whether through sermons, the reading of Scripture, afflictions, or personal encounters with God, these experiences vividly illustrate the power of divine grace in drawing the lost to salvation.
无论是借着讲道、诵读圣经、患难，或与神的个人相遇，这些经历都生动地彰显了神圣恩典吸引迷失之人归向救恩的大能。
Powell’s compilation not only offers an edifying glimpse into the Puritan understanding of conversion but also provides encouragement to believers who struggle with assurance, reminding them that others have walked the same difficult road of doubt and fear before being led into the joy of salvation.
鲍威尔的汇编不仅使人得见清教徒对归信的造就性理解，也为在得救确据上挣扎的信徒带来鼓励，提醒他们，曾有他人也走过同样充满疑惑与惧怕的艰难道路，最终被引入救恩的喜乐。
One of the book’s great strengths is its emphasis on experiential Christianity—the necessity of not merely professing faith but knowing its transforming power.
本书的一大长处，在于其对“经历性的基督信仰”（experiential Christianity）的强调——不仅要口头承认信仰，更要真实认识其更新生命的大能。
Powell captures the biblical reality that true religion is not a matter of external formality but of heart-renewing encounters with the living God.
鲍威尔准确把握了圣经的真实教导：真正的信仰并非外在形式的问题，而是与永活之神更新内心的相遇。
These accounts confirm that spiritual experience, rightly grounded in Scripture, serves as a means of strengthening faith, comforting the afflicted, and deepening one’s assurance.
这些记述证实，属灵经历若正确地扎根于圣经，便能成为坚固信心、安慰受苦之人、并加深救恩确据的途径。
Readers will find the testimonies strikingly personal and deeply relatable, as they highlight the struggles of conscience, the assaults of Satan, and the ultimate triumph of Christ’s grace.
读者将发现这些见证极其个人化、又深具共鸣，因为它们凸显了良心的挣扎、撒但的攻击，以及基督恩典最终的得胜。
This book is a treasure for those who seek to understand the inner workings of the Spirit in the soul and a call to those who may be resting in a false or shallow profession of faith.
本书是渴望明白圣灵在灵魂深处运行之人的珍宝，也是一声呼召，唤醒那些可能安于虚假或肤浅信仰告白之中的人。
Vavasor Powell (1617–1670) was a Welsh Puritan preacher, evangelist, and author known for his zealous gospel proclamation and commitment to biblical truth.
瓦瓦索·鲍威尔（1617–1670）是威尔士的清教徒传道人、布道家与作者，以其热切的福音宣讲和对圣经真理的忠诚而闻名。
He labored tirelessly in Wales, preaching in the open air, planting congregations, and writing against the errors of his day.
他在威尔士不懈劳作，露天讲道、建立会众，并撰文驳斥其时代的诸般错误。
Despite facing persecution, imprisonment, and opposition, Powell remained steadfast in his mission to call sinners to repentance and faith in Christ.
尽管遭受逼迫、监禁与反对，鲍威尔仍坚定不移地履行呼召罪人悔改并信靠基督的使命。
His works continue to bear fruit, offering valuable insights into the spiritual struggles and triumphs of those who have gone before.
他的著作至今仍结出果实，为后人提供关于属灵争战与得胜的宝贵洞见。
