It is the story of Graham Pulkingham, the spellbinding priest who had led Redeemer into a powerful renewal starting in 1964, but whose inner torments ultimately led to the destruction of himself and the community he established. Through deft storytelling and meticulous research (including 182 interviews), she provides a fascinating portrait of the glorious days of the renewal and its sister movements within Catholic and pentecostal churches; days when the Spirit’s fire did fall and many within the baby boomer generation were drawn to God. JULIA DUIN is religion editor for the Washington Times. She has won numerous awards for her reporting and worked for newspapers in Oregon, Florida, New Mexico and was the religion writer for the Houston Chronicle in Texas when the events in this book occurred. This is her fifth book. She and her daughter live in Maryland.
