Stephen Lang provides information on people such as Dennis Bennett, Aimee Semple McPherson, C. Peter Wagner, and John Wimber as well as insight into movements such as the Azusa Street Revival, the growth of the Assemblies of God, the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship, the Keswick Convention, and the 1973 Notre Dame Conference.

Top Highlights

“to love the way that God does, unselfishly, seeking the other’s welfare” (Page 2)

“enkrateia means ‘power over the self.’ For the Christian, of course, the ultimate Power over the self is God” (Page 5)

“love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self–control” (Page 1)

“Churches in the sense of buildings or denominations did not exist in the New Testament period, and there was no standard way of organizing the Christian communities. The gift of ‘governments’ or ‘administrations’ may refer to the Spirit–given ability to organize and administer rightly. This is indeed a rare and valuable gift (not one that every pastor or church leader possesses!). In the early church the leaders would have been people who earned their living through a trade. There was no professional, full–time clergy in our modern sense. In some ways that was a blessing. The only way to be a leader was by showing ability (as opposed to graduating from a seminary or passing an exam from a denominational board).” (Pages 7–8)

“You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.’” (Page 3)
