The Pentecostal view is different - but is it right? Pentecostals loudly claim a unique, miraculous experience of the Holy Spirit - different from salvation - to empower followers of Christ. And with their experience comes the ubiquitous and controversial speaking in tongues. If this is valid, if they really have discovered unique supernatural power, they ought to be able to prove it with stats and facts from their 120-year history. If they can, this is a big thing, and everyone should get on board. If they cannot, we can ignore this. Simple as that. To resolve the issue we need objective assessments so that we can compare. Blunt comparisons might offend of course, but it really is so important that we must do it. We need to know. So we compare, expecting "God-sized" results - or nothing.Four bold comparisons are made in this book:-- Growth rates. How have denominations fared over the centuries?-- Church health distinctives - from a National Church Life Survey-- Praise and worship songs - who creates them?-- Miracle ministry - who does this?The results? Each raises eyebrows, to say the least, and the book spells them out in detail.Of course we need theological foundations. A refreshing approach to the New Testament, together with much overlooked Old Testament and pre-Pentecost passages, bring new and persuasive light.History can't be ignored. Why did the church wait some two thousand years for this? Startling little-known outpourings add highly credible new evidence.All that and more. Settle your doubts, be inspired, and share this ground-breaking book with other seekers and those treading different paths.

A vivid portrayal of Heaven and HellJust over one hundred fifty years ago, in Berlin, New York, twenty-five-year-old Marietta Davis suddenly fell into an unconscious state, from which neither family nor physician could arouse her. When she finally regained consciousness, she described with almost supernatural perception how angels had escorted her spirit to Heaven and hell.Her vision made her the talk of the community and a legend for generations to come.Nine Days in Heaven brings the story of Marietta Davis to a new generation of readers. The nineteenth-century language of the original has been updated for readability, but the detailed portrayal of her vision remains intact. Journey with Marietta to the shimmering reaches of PARADISE, where the redeemed enjoy the beauties of the new creation. Observe children who died on earth as they are taught the MYSTERIES of God in infants' Heaven. Grieve at the PLIGHT of the lost as they suffer the wages of sin.Supported by biblical references and practical observations, Nine Days in Heaven is more than the fanciful creation of a young woman's imagination. It is a travel guide to the life to come.Praise for Nine Days in Heaven "THANK YOU for such insight and wisdom with Nine Days in Heaven. It is profoundly written and easy to understand. I get overwhelmed reading it and at times have to put it down because it is so meaty. I need time to digest it and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal the power of it all to me." Via email, United States"I feel like I was Marietta in the story - as though I had gone through the whole thing. I am so grateful for this book - it is as though someone has given me a ruby. I so want to go to heaven. It has encouraged me to live a more godly life." JC, Melbourne Australia"My daughter Alexandra was born prematurely. God let me hold, sing to and comfort her for 90 minutes before she left. Nine Days in Heaven was a big help to me. It has been almost six years since my angel left and when I start to get selfish again I reread Nine Days in Heaven to remind me what her life is like now. She receives more love and nurturing than any earthly father could ever give her. Thank you. God Bless You." J. C. C. 2nd, USA"I was absolutely and utterly inspired. I am not usually a voracious reader but I could not put it down." Pastor, Melbourne, Australia
