Review: ANOINTED FOR REVIVAL by Geof Waugh et al.

Waugh is apparently an Australian pentecostal. A while back a lot of his work was given away free, so I have a good many of his books. If they're all like this, that's too bad.

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.
