I was visiting the Latino Leadership Circle blog and they were announcing this book and I thought I’d mention that I have a chapter in the book called "The Ladies are Warriors: Latina Pentecostalism and Faith-Based Activism in New York City". I’m one of three women writers in the book. You can order the book here. A press release on the book can be found here. And to find out more about the Azusa Street Activities go here.
A description from their website states: In honor of the Azusa Street Centennial Anniversary, Grant McClung has collected the works of many of the men (and women, my emphasis) who have chronicled or led the Pentecostal movement for the past 100 years and put their essays into a single volume that is considered by many to be the "one central sourcebook on Pentecostal missions and church growth." The book is divided into four perspectives:
- History (a visit to Azusa Street)
- Theology
- Practice (My chapter is under this category)
- Future of the Pentecostal missions
I am really honored to have been a part of this historical rewriting. My name is on the cover among all those men, isn’t that cool!
It is my desire to write my own book after I graduate. Lately I’ve just been working on my dissertation which I hope to submit "a proposal" by the February 1st. If that is accepted, I will be able to go forward in the research and then write it up and I’m done!
