A groundbreaking book from the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary that teaches readers how to participate in the radical, transformative prayer that Jesus taught his first disciples. The Lord’s Prayer has been domesticated and tamed, turned into a safe series of comforting words and made familiar by repetition.

It is the most powerful prayer in all the Bible, taught by Jesus to his own disciples.

Cecil M. Robeck, Jr. brings to bear expertise from decades of focused study in church history to reveal the captivating story of the Apostolic Faith Mission in Los Angeles, which became known as the Azusa Street Mission. From humble beginnings with few resources, this small uniquely diverse and inclusive congregation led by William J. Seymour ignited a fire that quickly grew into a blaze and spread across the world giving rise to the global Pentecostal movement. Sifting through newspaper reports and other written accounts of the time as well as the mission’s own publications, and through personal interaction with some of those blessed to stand very near to the fire that began at the mission, Robeck relates not only the historical significance of the revival but also captures the movement of the Holy Spirit that changed the face of modern Christianity.
