Azusa Street is the disarming autobiography of Frank Bartleman, an evangelist who settled near the little congregation on Azusa Street that would ignite a spark that would set the world on fire in revival. His story is one of a hardscrabble life illuminated by simple, steadfast faith and grace. God had plans for him to be part of the revival, and because he was willing to serve, God provided miracle after miracle, which Bartleman carefully chronicled with the innocence of a trusting child and the wonder of a man filled with awe.
The introduction by Dr. Vinson Synan, leader in the American Pentecostal movement, provides rich insight into the miracles of Azusa Street and puts the 100 years that followed into the historical perspective that is our legacy. The book will inspire and humble you.
