Paperback. NEW. One of the most influential and dynamic evangelists of the twentieth century, Aimee Semple McPherson (1890-1944) was a complex, lively, and controversial figure with a flair for the dramatic. This absorbing bigraphy offers unique insights into McPherson's Canadian and Salvation Army roots and her relationship with Pentecostalism. Edith Blumhofer utilizes selected minutes of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel ---a resource not available to previous biographers ---and her conversations with McPherson's children, Roberta Semple Salter and Rolf McPherson, to engagingly depict this colorful and inspiring evangelist.
