O knihe

An Untraditional Fire is a lovingly told story about a dynamic, unique, and life-changing man of God, Dr. Rocellia Johnson, the founding pastor of the Bethany Baptist Church of West Los Angeles.

Author Harry A. Mitchell III traces the life of Pastor Johnson from the humble beginnings of an Oklahoma farm boy in Jim Crow America to his arrival in Los Angeles in the early 1940s- a couple decades before Disneyland, the Dodgers, and the completion of the Santa Monica Freeway-to his development into one of the most influential ministers in African American churches.
Pastor Johnson's innovative accomplishments include:
. A nationwide Evangelism Movement, through which thousands of pastors and churches have been equipped to share the Gospel with their communities.
. The Bethany Christian Bible Institute, which has graduated some 730 scholars since its inception, all at no cost to the students.
. Almost forty preachers called to the Gospel ministry, or mentored for it, under his ministry.
. His signature 24-Hour Gospel Marathons.
. His deeply meaningful First Sunday Night Communion services.
Pastor Johnson's greatest contributions were in the lives of the people fortunate enough to call him "Pastor," and it is through the voices of these charming and down-to-earth Christians that Harry Mitchell (himself a "Bethanite") tells Pastor Johnson's story in these pages-humorous and moving anecdotes abound, along with many heart-stirring and memorable quotations from Pastor Johnson himself.
