Trying to find a better way to track books I want to read than a random spreadsheet. I had used readinglog.info which was provided by my local public library until they shut down the program. Luckily, I regularly backed it up via their CSV export. I've used Library Thing for years, but adding books for "To Read" really screwed up a lot of the other features of the website, like recommendations, etc. I really love Free Software & the Fediverse particularly. My primary social media account is on Friendica @fu@libranet.de for now everything I post here is automatically "re-tooted" there.

Not quite what I was expecting. I had hoped for more details on the original Azusa Street Revival, but what was there was about what I had already read on Wikipedia. That being said the rest of the book was still good. In fact I read it more quickly than I have much non-fiction the last several years. The rest was about what happened since then, from the racial split in classical pentacostolism, to the global south growth of Christianity thru the spirit filled belivers. The establishment of charismatics who chose to stay in their old churches and renew them rather than leaving to form new ones.
What I found most mighty and surprising was Pope John praying in the 20th century on 1-1-1901 & dedicating the new century to the holy spirit and man the latter rain came down.

Significantly better than I expected. Like many I first came to know of this book a number of years ago when it was "banned" for having nudity. Like so many "banned" books I feel its often a ploy by the publishing company to sell more books, particularly when they are books like this that have been in publicization for a long time.
I expected it to need the help because it wasn't that great. However I found it a pleasant read, granted you probably aren't supposed to get a pleasant read out of a holocaust book but I digress. I really appreciated the Vladek character when is so much a character of a miserly Jewish American that even the author notes he isn't sure he should include it because of how stereotypical it is.
A good look at the insight of a particularly family and there making, and no so …
