Review Quotes: "A ground-breaking study of the role spiritual insight plays in the everyday lives of Pentecostal Christians in the United States. Frederick Klaits' deeply moving and beautifully written ethnography convincingly argues that the inspirations believers receive from God are a vital resource for envisioning redemptive possibilities in a tragically broken world. This is scholarship and storytelling at its very best." --Onaje X. O. Woodbine, Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Religion, American University, USA
