DESCRIPTION:
“Scott Billingsley does a good job of explaining who people are and how they relate in the modern charismatic movement. The world he describes is richly textured and enormously influential and the biographical sketches point readers toward an understanding of the origins and development of the movement.”
Billingsley tells an important story that hasn't been told Eric B. Dent I found this book to be extremely engaging. I am a lifelong Christian but was mostly unfamiliar with the charismatic figures profiled in this book. Billingsley particularly highlights the major contributions of women and blacks in this movement. These people have had a major impact on perhaps millions of people and it is great to see a comprehensive view of what is common and distinctive about them. It's a great read!. Queen Yancy said Charismatic Movement. Very enlightening as it gave great reference to contemporary charisma in some of the Churches around the world today. We must worship God in spirit and truth in order to have the characteristics of Jesus Christ.

The evangelists adopted their ministry-building and prosperity gospel tactics and are notable for megachurches, televangelism, and health-and-wealth doctrines. The modern charismatic movement has grown far more sophisticated and has become a truly international phenomenon, and Pentecostals and charismatics hold a wide variety of views on race and gender
