Aimee Semple McPherson was consecrated to God, before she was born, by her mother, a soldier of the Salvation Army. She was a scamp in school, a young widow in China, and a neurotic housewife in Rhode Island. But when the Lord spoke to her as she was at death's door, she accepted her ministry.
She preached up and down the United States - in tents, concert halls, boxing rings, and speakeasies - prayed for the healing of hundreds of thousands of people and founded a Church. She built a Pentecostal temple of Hollywood dimensions in Los Angeles (Charlie Chaplin advised her on sets, Anthony Quinn played saxophone in the pit), and became such a celebrity in the 1920s and 1930s that the press publicly thanked her for giving work to so many journalists.
A "powerhouse biography"(Kirkus Reviews), Sister Aimee "fills a significant gap in the history of revivalism, America's most distinctive religious form" (The New York Times Book Review). It is also a "sensational tale" (The New Yorker) of the price of fame: exhaustion, insomnia, nervous breakdowns, sexual scandals, lawsuits and loneliness.
