AB Aimee Semple McPherson was Pentecostalism's first celebrity, its "female Billy Sunday." Based on the biographer's access to internal church documents and cooperation of Aimee's family and friends, this biography offers a sympathetic appraisal of her rise to fame, revivals in major cities and influence on American religion and culture in the Jazz Age. The biographer takes the reader behind the scenes of Aimee's fame to the early days of her harsh apprenticeship in revival tents, her failed marriages, and poverty. Barfoot recreates the career of this "called" and driven woman through oral history, church documents and by a creative use of new source material. --from publisher description
