3.0

This isn't COMPLETELY a hagiography of the Brownsville Revival, but it does make it seem much more balanced and calm than it was. Reading this book makes it seem like everything about Brownsville was wise and discerning, but videos (that are still on YouTube) show the opposite.

I was interested to read the perspectives of the leaders of the revival - they were much more restrained than I thought they would be.

However, as a book that was written in 1998 (in the midst of the revival) must be, it is a glowing endorsement of what was happening without hardly any mention of the abuses.

Overall, an interesting read.
