The compiler has retained most of the original essays, but added 12 new ones making this an important addition to the growing literature on Pentecostal Christianity in the 21st century. The article by Allan Anderson in particular focuses on Pentecostal origins and explosive growth beyond North America among the Poor of the Majority World."

* "All knowledgeable observers agree: the fastest growing and most vibrant branch of Christianity today is represented int he worldwide Pentecostal movement and its Charismatic cousins. The insiders claim to be part of a spiritual awakening that liberates and empowers them by the Holy Spirit for the holy task of world evangelization, the practice of spiritual gifts, joyful living and spontaneous worship. This amazing book documents both the claims of the observers and the experience of the participants. The editor -- himself a proficient author, strategic practitioner, and globally recognized mission leader -- is to be congratulated for this second edition of what is now a significantly enlarged, updated and forward-looking volume that both informs and motivates for living and practicing a Christ-centered and Spirit-filled life in fellowship with the global community celebrating a "new" Pentecost."

Shortly before his untimely death, former Executive Director of the Center, Dr. Robert Fisher noted: "We think the republication of Azusa Street and Beyond is of particular importance to the body of Christ in general especially on the occasion of the Centennial. It should be of great interest to thousands of people attending the Centennial meetings in Los Angeles."

* "a handbook on Pentecostal missions," which is "easily accessible and readable."
Allan Anderson, Professor of Global Pentecostal Studies
University of Birmingham (England)

* "Preparing for the Azusa Street revival’s centennial celebration, my mind reflects on words my mother heard years ago as a young woman evangelist in the mountains of eastern Tennessee. Mother heard R. G. Spurling Jr., leader of the small band of believers who started the Church of God, exclaim, 'Someday this Church will touch America and the world.' How prophetic! In this centennial edition of Azusa Street and Beyond, Grant McClung and others clearly demonstrate the truth of these words as the whole Pentecostal/Charismatic Movement continues its global missionary expansion. The Church of God is privileged to be an integral part of this movement since its very beginnings."
Dr. Orville Hagan, Assistant General Overseer
Church of God Cleveland, Tennessee

* "A handbook on Pentecostal missions," which is "easily accessible and readable."
Allan Anderson, Professor of Global Pentecostal Studies

* "Azusa Street and Beyond is an invaluable source for knowing the roots of this movement. There are very few good textbooks having to do with Pentecostal missiology in general. This is one of the foundational works."
Charles Van Engen, Professor of Biblical Theology of Missions at Fuller Seminary School of Intercultural Studies and President of Latin American Christian Ministries.

* "The Pentecostal movement is marching around the world like a mighty army. Grant McClung traces the steps of the movement in a methodical, scholarly, and inspirational style. He has brought together the thinking, writings, and forecasting of prominent and respected leaders of various Pentecostal denominations, groups, and agencies. The material in Azusa Street and Beyond will provide insights on the 'spontaneous strategy of the Spirit' plus a structure for planning and building for the future. The book will be a valuable addition to the library of every minister."
Raymond F. Culpepper
First Assistant General Overseer

* "For two decades now, Azusa Street and Beyond has been a durable classic, a pioneer publication in the field of Pentecostal missiology. It well deserves revised republication. I strongly support the reissuance of Grant McClung's significant book on Pentecostal missiology."
Russell P. Spittler, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs

Like a divine atom, the explosions are still affecting people for the positive... so the fallout from that major explosion has been and is going all over the world. Dr. Grant McClung does an excellent work in the completion of those who have experienced this divine phenomenon of the 21st Century."

* "As we observe the centennial of the great Azusa Street revival, it is my belief that there will be a great deal of interest in any quality book on the revival and its legacy from a variety of different perspectives. This is certainly true of the field of missiology as any other--perhaps more so because the Pentecostal movement is clearly one of the most significant mission movements in the history of Christianity. As the Executive Secretary of the Society for Pentecostal Studies, I am responsible for alerting our membership of all publications through our semiannual newsletter. Additionally this newsletter is posted on our website. We will certainly call attention to a revised version of Azusa Street and Beyond."
David G. Roebuck

Executive Secretary, Society for Pentecostal Studies

* "An excellent collection that helps the reader grasp the strategic work of the Holy Spirit in different locations of the world."
