The problem with this book is that it's schizophrenic. There's no one style, like there would be in a book with a single author. Even in books of essays and stories with many authors, there is usually a theme holding it all together. Here there's nothing. It just feels thrown-together.
The first half consists of hagiographies of early pentecostal leaders. These are apparently students' papers. The second half is a history of the pentecostal center in Brisbane, written by Waugh. There is no attempt to connect the halves.
I don't recommend this book, partly because of its random nature, and partly because it's just boring.
