Monelo deals elegantly with this important subject, managing to strike a balance between narrating what is essentially a confusing and distressing subject with an objectivity that avoids betraying the core tenets of Pentecostalism – to which he continues to hold.
This is a timely book with potential to ignite much conversation about the legacy of Pentecostalism.
