Publisher's summary

In Azusa Street Mission and Revival, Cecil M. Robeck Jr. brings to bear expertise from decades of focused study in church history to reveal the captivating story of the Apostolic Faith Mission in Los Angeles, which became known as the Azusa Street Mission. From humble beginnings with few resources, this small, uniquely diverse, and inclusive congregation led by William J. Seymour ignited a fire that quickly grew into a blaze and spread across the world, giving rise to the global Pentecostal movement. Sifting through newspaper reports and other written accounts of the time as well as the mission's own publications, and through personal interaction with some of those blessed to stand very near to the fire that began at the mission, Cecil M. Robeck Jr. not only relates the historical significance of the revival but also captures the movement of the Holy Spirit that changed the face of modern Christianity.

A Historical Tour de force

Two things astounded me about this book. One; how much I had learned over the past 40 years about the Azusa Street history without Robeck's book. Two; how very, very much I learned BY Robeck's book. Excellent and Riveting!

God centered brings revival

Loved hearing of the trasformed hearts, which brought about action. Loved hearing of hearts changed for missions. Loved hearing about the empowerment of Holy Spirit. I listened at 150 speed and my interest was kept to the end. Great book.

Unexpected

Not at all what I expected, but really glad I stuck with it. I expected more accounts of the miracles and supernatural events that occurred during the revival. But I believe I learned a lot more reading the history of these amazing people, their commitment to spreading the gospel, and their tenacity under opposition. I highly recommend this book.

Amazing history!

Would have loved if he would have dug a little deeper by getting familial stories because it seemed a little repeated I. The conversation about Seymour’s relationship with the woman that started Portland’s mission. Great history! Great book!

Great perspectives

There was nothing to dislike about this book. The book gave many accounts of what happened during that area. Growing up I knew about the Azusa revival, I didn’t know what fueled it or hindered it. I also liked the commentator. Easy listen.

Powerfully Honest, incredibly thorough!

I do not come from a Pentecostal tradition and to be honest wasn’t sure what to think about it. However, God has been stirring and being led by the Holy Spirit into a closer relationship with Him. This work was an excellent source of insight as to how God stirred then and what He might do again a little over 100 years later. Moreover, the author paints a brutally honest picture of what began in 1906 and the celebrations and hardships along the way.

Pro tip: do yourself a favor and listen at least at 1.3 or higher. 1.5 was perfect for me to listen, and reflect.
