The Azusa Street Revival: When the Fire Fell, An In-Depth Look at the People, Teachings, and Lessons

The Azusa Street Revival was as monumental as when Martin Luther nailed his Theses to the Whittenberg door. The fire that fell on Azusa Street spread worldwide and continues to fuel the flames of the Church today. “And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.” (Acts 2:2) Who were the men and women dedicated to this new and exciting spiritual experience? What sparked their rise—and ofttimes—demise? How did this “mysterious” movement spread into denominational churches and become a major force in Christianity? “And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.”(Acts 2:3) Roberts Liardon answers in vivid detail the bold beginnings and subsequent growth of the Pentecostal movement ignited by the Azusa fire in 1906. Read passionate testimonies from those who witnessed first-hand the revival’s birth and its unquenchable Light. The holy spirit revival that gave birth to the Assemblies of God and the Church of God in the wake of an outpouring at the Apostolic Faith Gospel Mission, led by William Seymour, is still touching lives today.
