About this title

Review

" ... a book about healing revivalists that takes them seriously and treats them fairly." - Journal of Southern History" ... will be a definitive work for some years to come." - Reviews in American History"Harrell has obviously attended countless rallies, read sheafs of literature, and personally interviewed many of the principals. He ... tell[s] the story in a largely biographical format. This makes for lively reading." - Harvey G. Cox, New York Times Book Review" ... will attract readers interested in the reasons behind the various fat and lean periods among revivalists." - Publishers Weekly"All Things Are Possible is the first book to tell the story of the enterprisers who have personal followings. The narrative is full of surprises: of seriousness and scandal strangely blended. Professor Harrell has done a staggering amount of research in hard to discover sources; his scholarship is impressive and he is eminently fair-minded. Here is a missing link in the chain of American religious movements." - Martin E. Marty, The University of Chicago Divinity School"Harrell's book will doubtless be the definitive work on the subject for a long while- who else will wade through Healing Waters and Miracle Magazine with such fastidious care?" - The Kirkus Reviews
