I’m in the middle of reading John G. Lake’s diary. It’s absolutely riveting! I had to put it down just to collect myself from the excitement bubbling inside of me so much I could hardly stand it.

Wigglesworth and Lake are my favorite examples of true men of God - I try to read everything I come across related to them.
I'm currently reading a compilation of Lake's life and ministry as well.

Lake veered off a bit towards the end of his life but otherwise it was good. Arguably he didn't take proper care of his first wife while they were in Africa though and his children ended up shunning him because of that.

He lost his support because of gossip then poverty struck during the great depression. He advertized a meeting involving an "Arab healer" and dressed in corresponding clothing, probably to get more people to come. This was towards the end of his life, he died in 1935 at 65, from a stroke.
It's one of those stupid things that put a dent in people's legacy, just like Copeland's "demons in a steel tube" is now all over the wikipedia article and probably isn't going to go away.

So tired of folk always gotta put a negative spin on powerfully anointed men of God who’ve had more success in their ministries than these criticizers will ever have. But I suppose haters gonna hate.

To the contrary, I love the ministry of John G Lake in general. Like Roberts Liardon and Bill Johnson point out, there is something to learn from the various mistakes that Lake and others made. In Wigglesworth's case there isn't much that's worth mentioning. Just that some of his ways of doing things wouldn't have been tolerated today even if they were okay back then, like punching people in the gut and then they got healed. Even with a subsequent doctor's certificate of healing that would have caused a media uproar today.
