Excellent overview of charismata in the Christian church since Jesus ascended to Heaven

Author shares enough detail to see that what the 21st century church is experiencing has been experienced before.

Must Reading!

I always wondered how the various denominations came about, and their relationship to one another. This book explains all of that and more. It fully refutes the idea that the gifts of the Holy Spirit were for the first centruy Church only. It also shows the pitfalls of human organization replacing the Holy Spirit in the Church. It details the rise of "professional" clergy, as opposed to those led and guided by the Spirit. I so thoroughly am enjoying this book that I intend to buy additonal copies for some of my friends. While reading this book, I am also reading "The Purpose Driven Life". The combination is very convicting and enlightening. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I am. May God richly bless you.

A Must Add To Any Christian Library

This book I bought and read for my Principles of Revival class in bible school. I found this book EXTREMLY exciting and most times capivated by past people who made an extreme impact in Christianity.I would recommend this book to ALL Christians. Eddie L. Hyatt I believe has brought to life those early Church Fathers. I found myself at times in a resturant reading away and taking my time because I didnt want to miss a thing. A few of my favorites were: Jonathan Edwards, William Seymour, A.A. Allen, and of course John Wesley.

I loved it!

This book brings much of the charismatic history of the church between two covers. Its not hard to read, but enjoyable. Hyatt not only takes us through church history but helps us see that God is alive and desires to move among His people. It births a desire in the reader to see a move of God and the work of the Holy Spirit.

History of Pentecostalism

I have heard this man preach for many years, and read several of his books. This particular one, brings out things from an historical view of the charasmatic/pentecostal view. It helps to establish the history of the "gifts of the Spirit" and helps show where they have been in the christian movement through out history.I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to start their search of pentecostal history.Shalom, and God bless,
