The Rejected Blessing

Why is it that the Pentecostal movement today lacks the power of its Azusa Street roots? What teaching served as the foundation of the 1906 Azusa Street Revival, and how is it that most Pentecostals repudiated that foundation less than six years after the revival began?

This groundbreaking look at the nexus of the Holiness and Pentecostal movements explains how one of God’s special works of grace became “The Rejected Blessing.”
