"Aimee Semple McPherson (1890-1944) AKA Sister Aimee, was a Canadian-American Los Angeles–based evangelist, Faith Healer, & media celebrity in the 1920s & 1930s. She founded the Foursquare Church. McPherson has been noted as a pioneer in the use of modern media, using radio to draw on the growing appeal of popular entertainment. In her time she was the most publicized Christian evangelist, even surpassing Billy Sunday. She conducted public faith healing demonstrations before large crowds; testimonies conveyed tens of thousands of people healed. McPherson's articulation of the United States as a nation founded and sustained by divine inspiration continues to be echoed by many evangelical pastors in churches today. News coverage sensationalized her misfortunes with family & church members; particularly inflaming accusations she had fabricated her reported kidnapping in 1926, turning it into a national spectacle. The movie "Elmer Gantry" starring Burt Lanaster uses McPherson's life "incidents" as some of its plot line. She was often pilloried as a fake & charlatan in her Faith healing spectaculars. This book is a comprehensive biography of her life & times, including the notoriety of her "kidnaping" & the resultant scandal. Nice Association inscription on the 1st blank end paper from folloer Dee Robinson to present day Faith Healer Benny Hinn, who has also been widely denounced as a fake. It gives her name/address then goes on to laud Benny as "real" & alludes to the fact that Aimee was (also) scorned & "She was used mightily by the Lord, but unfortunately suffered many pitfalls." She then goes on to say, "I support it (TBN) with $50 per month." Apparently Dee Robinson was taken by Hinn's TV presence & decided to send him the book so he could bear his cross more easily. Hinn has been widely criticized for fake faith healing, personal money grubbing & wild predictions of Jesus about to appear for His "Second Coming" on stage at Hinn revivals in the recent past. So far Jesus has been a no-show at Hinn's predicted arrival times, but "my gawd how the money rolls in." Internally tight & unmarked. Binding Exterior; all lettering/decoration bright.
