Synopsis
&“The first book to tell the story of the enterprisers who have personal followings . . . a missing link in the chain of American religious movements.&”—Martin E. Marty, author of October 31, 1517: Martin Luther and the Day that Changed the World Written by a Professor Emeritus at Auburn University, this is the first objective history of the great revivals that swept the country after World War II. It tells the story of the victories and defeats of such giants of the revival as William Branham, Oral Roberts, Jack Coe, T. L. Osborn, and A. A. Allen. It also tells of the powerful evangelists who carried on the revival, including Robert Schambach and Morris Cerullo. Those who lived through the great revivals of the 1950s and 1960s will be thrilled to read about those exciting days, and those interested in the religious history of the United States need to read this book to see what has led us up to this present moment in time. &“Harrell has obviously attended countless rallies, read sheafs of literature, and personally interviewed many of the principals. He . . . tell[s] the story in a largely biographical format. This makes for lively reading.&”—The New York Times Book Review &“A book about healing revivalists that takes them seriously and treats them fairly.&”—Journal of Southern History &“Will be a definitive work for some years to come.&”—Reviews in American History &“Will attract readers interested in the reasons behind the various fat and lean periods among revivalists.&”—Publishers Weekly &“Harrell&’s book will doubtless be the definitive work on the subject for a long while—who else will wade through Healing Waters and Miracle Magazine with such fastidious care?&”—Kirkus Reviews
