I have it ordered through PPH. Here is a link. http://pentecostalpublishing.com/product/anthology-0
Thoughts?
I thought it would interest some here since Thomas Craft name came up in this thread.
We can talk about Fisher but not Craft? |
What is there to talk about TLC? He is clearly and firmly a 3 stepper. He is a very personable person. When Don Fisher came to JCM they were known as "Velvet & Steel" with TLC being the Velvet.
I am sure this book is an interesting look at TLC's ministry when has had much success and some bumps in the road but I am willing to bet it will not tackle controversial or difficult subjects.
If you want some inside perspective on TLC during the JCM days read the pdf you can find online for free of the Dan Lewis publication "Why I left the United Pentecostal Church". He mentions in detail several instances of how TLC handled the possibility that some JCM staff members were not doctrinally aligned with him and the vast majority of the UPC.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
