"Church leaders would do well to emulate the dynamic spiritual life of our founder, Bishop C. H. Mason." -Bishop 0. T. Jones, Jr. "Every pastor in our denomination and beyond should have a worn and well-read copy of this book." -Bishop Charles E. Blake, Sr. "Bishop C. H. Mason knew that a dynamic encounter with God propelled him into effective ministry. May we also pursue God wholeheartedly, believing Him to empower us for service." -Bishop Roy L. H. Winbush "In order for us to transform our society, we must be faithful to the vision of our founder, Bishop C. H. Mason." -Bishop Leroy R. Anderson, Assistant Secretary "Bishop Clemmons reminds us that our denomination was forged in the fires of a Pentecostal revival that continues to impact our society today." -Bishop Gilbert E. Patterson "You will be inspired to hunger and thirst for God as you read the biography of Bishop C. H. Mason." -Bishop L. E. Willis "May God grant us a return to Azusa Street where barriers of color, race, sex, and social status were demolished by the power of the Holy Spirit and may the Church of God in Christ lead the way." -Bishop Samuel L. Green, Jr. "God enabled Bishop C. H. Mason to lead both blacks and whites in an interracial fellowship at a time when segregation permeated our society. May we likewise tear down walls of separation." -Bishop W. W. Hamilton, General Secretary "Years of research make this one of the most thorough documentaries of our denomination that I have ever seen." -Bishop Frank O. White, Financial Secretary "Bishop Clemmons paints a realistic picture of the dynamics that gave birth to our denomination." -Bishop Samuel L. Lowe, Treasurer "Our roots establish our legacy and provide the springboard for the future. This documentation is a must for this generation and the generations to come." -Mother Emma F.

This will be extremely valuable to students of church history regardless of denomination." -Dr. H. Vinson Synan, Ph.D., Dean of the School of Divinity, Regent University "Finally, a documentary written by a black historian/theologian and a lifelong member of the Church of God in Christ. Bishop Clemmons' perspective is insightful, informative, and refreshing." -Dr. William C. Turner, Ph.D., Professor of Theology, Duke Divinity School, Duke University "This book tells the amazing story of a fledgling movement that became a powerful presence in our inner cities in just a few decades." -Dr. Dorothy Webster Exume, Ph.D., Missionary to Haiti "Allow Bishop C. H. Mason's vision to grip you, to challenge you, and to change you." -Raymond C. Pierce, J.D., Deputy Assistant Secretary, U.S. Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights
Synopsis
The Church of God in Christ (COGIC), the first major denomination to spring from the fires of the Azusa Street revival, profoundly affected the history of the church. Its tremendous influence can be traced to the dynamic spiritual life of its founder, Charles Harrison Mason. The son of a slave and a leader in the holiness movement of his day, Mason traveled to Azusa Street in 1907 where he received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. His vibrant spiritual life enabled him to lead a fledgling movement from its infancy to a powerful, prophetic community over the next fifty years. Today, the COGIC church has 6.5 million members and 12,000 congregations; it can be found in every U.S. state and in 87 countries around the globe. The COGIC Church holds in tension the dynamics of holiness, spiritual encounter and prophetic Christian social consciousness. Facing the challenges of our generation, the COGIC Church desires to maintain the legacy of its founder as it prepares for another century of work and witness. "Every pastor in our denomination and beyond should have a worn and well­-read copy of this book." - Presiding Bishop Charles E. Blake, Sr. "This is must reading for students of church history regardless of denomination." -Dr. H. Vinson, Synan, Ph.D., Dean of the School of Divinity, Regent University "Finally, a documentary written by a COGIC historian and theologian. His perspective is insightful, informative and refreshing." -Dr. William C. Turner, Ph.D., Professor of Theology, Duke University Divinity School "Our younger generations need to know the rich legacy bequeathed to them by the pioneers of the Church of God in Christ." -Bishop Chandler D. Owens "Bishop Clemmons reminds us that our denomination was forged in the fires of a Pentecostal revival that continues to impact our society today." -Bishop Gilbert E. Patterson "This valuable book should be in the hands of every member of the Church of God in Christ." -Bishop C. L. Anderson "God gave Bishop C. H. Mason an anointing to preach powerfully, to heal the sick, and to sing out in spontaneous worship. May we covet the same anointing that transformed thousands in his day." -Bishop J. Neaul Haynes "We are the descendants of a mighty move of God that began at Azusa Street. This book will help us to pass on an equally dynamic spiritual life to our succes­sors, taking the Church of God in Christ into the next century." -Bishop P. A. Brooks "Church leaders would do well to emulate the dynamic spiritual life of our founder; Bishop C. H. Mason." -Bishop O. T. Jones, Jr. "Bishop C. H. Mason knew that a dynamic encounter with God propelled him into effective ministry. May we also pursue God wholeheartedly, believing Him to empower us for service." -Bishop Roy L. H.
