Review Quotes: "This is a book about Canadian Evangelicals, and it is a welcome addition for that alone. U.S. sociologists do not pay enough attention to Canada, or the work of Canadian sociologists. Yet even though the case is in Canada, the implications are broad and wide-ranging. Schuurman's book will prove helpful for anyone trying to understand the nature of charisma, the ironies of contemporary Christianity, or the dramaturgical implications of a megachurch. I recommend the book enthusiastically." American Journal of Sociology
