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.
