The true story of America’s first superstar evangelist that “fills a significant gap in the history of revivalism” (The New York Times Book Review). Once she answered the divine calling, Aimee Semple McPherson rose fast from unfulfilled housewife in Rhode Island to “miracle woman”—the most enigmatic, pioneering, media-savvy Christian evangelist in the country. She preached up and down the United States, traveling in a 1912 Packard with her mother and her children—and without a man to fix flat tires. Her ministry was rolled out in tents, concert halls, boxing rings, and speakeasies. She prayed for the healing of hundreds of thousands of people, founded the Foursquare Church, and built a Pentecostal temple in Los Angeles of Hollywood-epic dimensions (Charlie Chaplin advised her on sets). But this is not just a story of McPherson’s cult of fame. It’s also the story about its price: exhaustion, insomnia, nervous breakdowns, sexual scandals, loneliness, and the notorious public disgrace that nearly destroyed her. A “powerhouse biography of perhaps the most charismatic and controversial woman in modern religious history,” Sister Aimee is, above all, the life story of a unique woman, of the power of passion that rejects compromise, and a faith that would not be shaken (Kirkus Reviews). “[Told] with insight, empathy and lyrical power . . . Daniel Mark Epstein sees the facts, and feels the mystery, and he has written a remarkable book.” —Los Angeles Times

Download Charisma and Religious War in America Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The most interesting, vibrant and booming city in 1920s America was Los Angeles. Tens of thousands of new folks annually flocked to the City of Angels to enjoy its balmy, year-round pleasant weather. The site of new industries, including oil and technology companies and Hollywood film studios, it sparked another important and thriving, but less known, sector: the city’s expanding religious communities. As hard as it is for many to connect LA to religious matters, few cities gave more impetus to spiritual innovation than this idyllic Southern California metropolis. No two figures shaped this movement more than Sister Aimee Semple McPherson and Reverend Robert “Fighting Bob” Shuler. Both were newcomers, solidly within the Protestant faith, and both reached heights of unparalleled publicity and notoriety in the country, yet each despised the other, even while professing faith, obedience and fealty to the same Christ. This is their story, told from their hard-scrabble beginnings through to their popular ministries that deeply moved so many lives, even as their interpretation of religious commitment sparked a “holy” war between them. More entertaining than any boxing match, this war stimulated the growth and development of American Christianity that dominates religious and, increasingly, material existence in the United States. This is the first published biography of Rev. Shuler, a less well-known figure in American Protestant history, but whose own tale fighting sin and corruption of Los Angeles is nothing short of epic.

"Sister Aimee: The Aimee Semple McPherson Story" A Screenplay by Richard Rossi The front page headlines, tabloids and gossip-mongers had a field day in the Roaring Twenties, shouting: "SISTER AIMEE Sex SISTER AIMEE Sin SISTER AIMEE Salvation ..." According to Christianity Today writer-filmmaker Richard Rossi "probes deeper" than any other book or film on Sister Aimee. Videohound Golden Retriever Movieguide says what sets his work on Sister Aimee apart is "Rossi takes a compassionate and sympathetic look" at the total story. Both of Rossi's award-winning films are available on DVD on Amazon under the title "Richard Rossi 5th Anniversary of Sister Aimee." REVIEWS: "Sister Aimee: The Aimee Semple McPherson Story" is as provocative as it is touching and explores the human side of one of America's towering spiritual icons. You'll find a sensitive script, ample acting, and a story that portrays the Pentecostal woman, who like the rest of us, lived in a skin of real flesh...If you can believe that Christian legends still wear a skin that longs to be touched, THIS MOVIE IS A MUST-SEE!" (Charisma Magazine, Ed Donnally) "In spite of being a devout atheist (an oxymoron I imagine), I've always found the people involved with any religion to be fascinating. Director Rossi wants us to know the evangelist who became a sensation touring around the world and preaching her Christian beliefs...Rossi doesn't gloss over her indiscretions. He paints a lovelorn woman...not a deified woman. Mimi Michaels (as Aimee) is a force of passion and conviction..." (Filmthreat ) In this book, considered the best of the books about Sister Aimee by the International Communion of Charismatic Churches, Academy Award-considered filmmaker Richard Rossi shares what he learned about the Miracle Woman by making two movies about Sister Aimee ("Saving Sister Aimee," the Oscar-considered documentary in which he interviewed primary witnesses like Aimee's daughter, leading man, co-pastor, and secretary and his feature dramatic film "Sister Aimee") Due to popular and worldwide demand to have his screenplay in book form, Rossi's screenplay and introduction are presented here as he tells Aimee's story in his critically acclaimed award-winning script from the Aimee biopic voted the greatest guerrilla film of all time.
