This Is That: Personal Experiences, Sermons and Writings of Aimee Semple McPherson Evangelist (American Evangelist Series) (Volume 2)

Aimee Semple McPherson, or simply "Sister Aimee," rose to national prominence in the 1920s and 1930s as a Pentecostal evangelist and media celebrity. McPherson pioneered the use of modern media, especially radio, in evangelism. Drawing on the growing appeal of popular entertainment, she was the most publicized Christian evangelist, even surpassing Billy Sunday. She also conducted public faith-healing events before large crowds. Tens of thousands claimed to have been healed during her services. In this book, McPherson recounts her development from a young Canadian girl to one of the most important evangelists of the 20th century.
