In vivid, cinematic prose, this book brings to life the first Pentecost, when wind and flame turned fearful disciples into fearless witnesses—and then follows that same fire as it ignites the lives of ordinary men and women across the centuries. Meet Peter and the early church; William Seymour in a converted stable on Azusa Street; Maria Woodworth-Etter under a trembling tent; Aimee Semple McPherson turning sermons into theater; Florence Crawford and Ida Robinson quietly building movements; Oral Roberts and Kathryn Kuhlman in the glare of television lights; Reinhard Bonnke and Yiye Ávila crying out to continents for salvation.
More than a history of Pentecostalism, Wind and Fire is a tapestry of human stories—full of faith and failure, courage and controversy—that asks a single pressing question: What happens when ordinary people dare to believe that Pentecost is not over? This book invites you not only to admire the great men and women God has used, but to hear the whisper that the story is still being written—and that you have a place in it.
