Aimee Semple McPherson, founder of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, was perhaps the most famous Pentecostal evangelist of the early twentieth century. Thousands attended her meetings. But with her radio sermons and syndicated articles, she reached millions both in the United States and abroad. Much has been written about McPherson's fascinating life and her impact on millions of followers. Yet surprisingly, her writings and sermons have never been compiled and published-until now. The Collected Sermons and Writings of Aimee Semple McPherson arranges McPherson's body of work chronologically, allowing readers to see how her style, subject matter, and emphases changed as her ministry developed. As a Pentecostal evangelist, McPherson based her messages on the scriptural understanding that as Jesus is unchanging, the miracles and spiritual gifts of the early church should be part of modern Christian practice. Accordingly, her writings focus on God's miraculous healing, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and the miracle of speaking in tongues. A valuable resource for religious scholars, McPherson's collective writings contain wisdom and inspiration for the everyday Christian, while also providing an insightful look into the devoted mind of one of the twentieth century's most influential women.
