The point at which divine inspiration and human agency meet is not always easy to detect, but this book details how, in the case of The Salvation Army in the United States, the Holy Spirit worked through characters and events to eventually shape a movement fit to embody the Word of God and serve in Christﾡﾯs name. As The Salvation Army was experiencing growing pains in becoming an international ministry proclaiming the world for God, early Salvationists came to the United States and by trial and error, unbridled zeal, and often unplanned and contentious proceedings, overcame competing agendas, rivalries and misunder-standings to set the foundation for a unified mission. This book provides an up-close look at the many characters, missteps, visions, and events out of which a cohesive, burgeoning and God-inspired movement became a respected participant in the American landscape.
