Charles Finney was born on Aug. 29, 1792, in Warren, [[Connecticut]].

When Finney was two years old his family moved to upstate New York. He received his early education in frontier schools. While he was still a young man, Finney studied law and set up practice in Adams, New York. A book on law, [[William Blackstone]]'s [[Commentaries on the Laws of England]], repeatedly mentioned the Bible. Blackstone referred to the Bible as the highest authority. Finney bought a Bible and was soon reading it more than the books on law. The Bible moved Finney deeply and on October 10, 1821 Finney became a converted Christian. He decided to witness for Christ instead of practicing law.
