As I am preparing for the Centennial Celebration of the Church of the Nazarene on Sunday, October 5, 2008, I thought I'd I read this book on the founder of the church, Phineas Bresee. Good book, well researched, maybe a little too well researched. By that I mean there are many details (names, places) that are relevant to Bresee's story, but may be irrelevant to the reader. When I read a biography, I want to know more about the individual than I do circumstantial details that the author discretionarily decides to retain or omit from the book. In this case, I felt the author may have retained a bit too much information from his research. It's still a good book that I recommend for anyone who wants to know more about a great man of God in Bresee.(4 of 5 stars)

Hey John, I found your blog while doing a search for a photo of Bresee for Sunday's message. I saw you photo and thought I recognized that face. Sure enough, it's you.
This will link you to my crazy blog. Not nearly so "holy" as yours.

Hey Rick, my blog wasn't really all that holy until you left a comment!
