This edited book offers an engaging portrait into a vital,
religious movement inside this southern Africa country. It tells
the story of a community of faith that is often overlooked in the
region. The authors include leading scholars of religion, theology,
and politics from Botswana and Zimbabwe. The insights they present
will help readers understand the place of Pentecostal Christianity
in this land of many religions. The chapters detail a history of
the movement from its inception to the present. Chapters focus on
specific Pentecostal churches, general doctrine of the movement,
and the movement's contribution to the country. The writing is
deeply informed and features deep historical, theological, and
sociological analysis throughout. Readers will also learn about the
socio-political and economic relevance of the faith in Zimbabwe as
well as the theoretical and methodological implications raised by
the Pentecostalisation of society. The volume will serve as a
resource book both for teaching and for those doing research on
various aspects of the Zimbabwean society past, present, and
future. It will be a good resource for those in schools and
university and college departments of religious studies, theology,
history, politics, sociology, social anthropology, and related
studies. Over and above academic and research readers, the book
will also be very useful to government policy makers,
non-governmental organizations, and civic societies who have the
Church as an important stakeholder.
With its exalted emotionality, Pentecostalism is a widespread
religious movement in Latin America and Africa. It is a blend of
Methodism and African religious culture which arouses the passions
of the poorest Brazilian masses. Pentecostal conversion is
experienced as a sudden break which radically transforms the life
of these sectors of the population. Pentecostalism is an Utopia of
equality, love and emotion, which is staged during the worship
service. However, it is also characterized by authoritarian
features. Pentecostalism is slowly eroding the foundation of
Western political categories.

Christians must know that their lives with God can be full of new
experiences every day through the fullness of the Holy Ghost. In
this text, Jakes discusses ways to meet challenges and realize
one's full potential. (Practical Life)
You are alive right now for a reason--your purpose predestined for
such a time as this. As the world slips deeper into darkness, most
Christians feel stuck, powerless to effect change. Yet changing the
world--your world--starts with you, right where you are, with a
heart full of fire for Jesus. Grounded in biblical teaching and
drawing from his own renewal experiences, pastor and revivalist
Glen Berteau emboldens you to get fed up with the ineffectual
status quo, showing you how to * ignite the supernatural power God
has placed in you * be filled up with the Holy Spirit * get fired
up for what God can do through you * see beyond your current
circumstance * and live a faith without limits You're a Kingdom
weapon, energized by God's mighty power and forged to stand strong
for what you believe, tear down strongholds, eradicate hatred and
bring dead things to life. You are chosen to change the world.
"Jesus calls passionate followers. My dear friend Glen Berteau
provides a necessary spark for those growing indifferent toward
their faith and needing revival."--JOHN BEVERE, bestselling author
and minister; cofounder, Messenger International
