Why read it?
1 author picked Aimee Semple McPherson and the Resurrection of Christian America as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Aimee Semple McPherson lived a trailblazing life as the founder of the Four-Square Gospel Pentecostal church in Los Angeles, the first woman to own a US radio station, and a captivating, theatrical preacher. The beauty of Suttonâs book is the way he shows how McPhersonâs sexual charismaâas well as her nearly career-ending sexual scandalsâenabled her to define herself as the embodiment of Christian virtue. Wearing white and preaching with props and scenery worthy of a Hollywood set, McPherson used a show business savvy to portray conservative Christianity as the bedrock of Americanism.
From Rebecca's list on why sex matters to US history.
