Acts of the Green Apples
I just read this book and it was an amazing testimony of the Charismatic renewal in the sixties that started in the Episcopal church and swept throughout all the mainline denominations over the next ten years or so. I obviously don't agree with all their doctrines, but the power of the Holy Ghost that they experienced was real. They didn't know anything - they were just hungry for more of God. They saw so many miracles and amazing conversions.
One interesting thing was that when they would get full of the Holy Spirit, they would immediately stop drinking and smoking, etc. No one told them to, and their mainline churches definitely didn't discourage these things. But the Holy Spirit taught them. I think it's interesting that today even some Pentecostals are starting to accept these things in their churches in moderation, that denominational people were convicted of when they received the Holy Spirit baptism. Hmmmm......
