    I'm now at the point in the book where Aimee resigned her A/G credentials back to Springfield after a dispute where the San Jose crowds were ridiculously massive in her crusade there. The Baptists granted her honorary credentials as an affirmation and approval of her ministry. Aimee accepted them with grace and really didnt give it another thought until Springfield caught wind of it. As with Aimee, credentials meant very little of value to her so in that form...she resigned from the A/G.

    This occured January 1922 as according to what is written in the book and set the stage for later forming her own full gospel movement/denomination.

    While preaching in Arkansas City there had been devastating rains and floods, people were homeless and many farmers without crops. Sister Aimee lifted her voice asking God to stay the rain and it instantly stopped. People were stunned at the miracle.

    Very intriguing book but will say the first half was a better read than the latter half. Good insights on her split from the A/G, encounters with the KKK, her tireless drive for the baptism in the Holy Spirit and struggles in marriage. Great book. One of my elders saw it on my desk and asked if he could read it, saying he heard good things about her and wants to know more of the pentecostal revivalists from back then.

    A few weeks back one of our elders dropped in for a chat and saw the book on my desk. He asked if I was done reading it and if he could. I quickly plopped on his lap and said "enjoy". When one of us pentecostals comes into a rural "non" church and you see an interest in these powerful matters, it is very encouraging.

    Anthony Quinn, who became a member of the Angelus Temple at a young age, wrote the following about Aimee Semple McPherson in his memoirs in 1972: "Years later, when I saw the great actresses at work, I would compare them to her. As magnificent as I would find Anna Magnani, Ingrid Bergman, Laurette Taylor, Katharine Hepburn, Greta Garbo, and Ethel Barrymore, they all fell short of that first electric shock Aimee Semple McPherson produced in me."

    Anthony Quinn was so much in awe of Sister Aimee that he dared not look in her eyes because he was afraid she would be able to see his soul. One day, in the Angelus Temple, as he was blowing his saxophone at a rehearsal he sensed a presence behind him; it was Aimee. But he wouldn't look at her. During a pause, he looked over his shoulder and there she was, sitting right behind him, smiling. Their eyes finally met. "I felt no fear, no embarrassment, no awe - just complete acceptance. She smiled as if to say, "I know you. I like you." It was so simple." would later write Anthony Quinn. Aimee came to him and told him the following "I have the feeling that the Lord has singled you out to become a great preacher."

    She then invited him to come preach with her the following week in the Mexican district. Quinn was only 14 at the time, in 1939, and he rode in Aimee's car as she drove to a tent revival on the East side of town. "It was as if I'd been waiting an eternity for such an acceptance". On the platform, Aimee apologized for not speaking Spanish and she asked the young Anthony, standing by her side, to help translate her sermon in spanish saying that one day, he would too become one of our great preachers. The boy was terrified "but when she put her hand on my shoulder, and an electrical charge went through me. I spoke loud and clear. I was her voice that night, the extension of that great power."

    Anthony Quinn would not become a preacher, but he became a successful actor and he experienced the anointing of God that afternoon, on the platform when Aimee put her hand on his shoulder and he became for just a few minutes, her voice.

    One moment in the anointing and presence of God will change your life for ever. You never forget it.
