The Azusa Street Centennial

Book excerpt: Pentecostal congregations are among the fastest-growing churches in the world, but modern-day Pentecostalism had an inconspicuous start. It began in a church on Azusa Street in Los Angeles in 1906, spawning the Pentecostal Movement. The first section is a pictorial history of many of the events and people who have been a part of the Pentecostal/Charismatic world. The Azusa Street Centennial will: -Chronicle Pentecostalism's growth, highlighting the events and people who have been a part of this movement -Look back at the Healing Revival and the Latter Rain Revival -Document the rise of the Charismatic Movement, highlighting important developments through the final decades of the twentieth century -Clearly outline the difference between Charismatic and Pentecostal churchesDestined to be a collector's item, this book is the definitive resource for a historical, pictorial, and chronological record of the Azusa Street Revival.
