The Azusa Papers edition by William Seymour Religion Spirituality eBooks
As a small child, I recall hearing about prayers and hopes for renewals and revivals. As I grew older, the conversations in the circles around me seemed to dim and it wasn't till I was found myself involved in a more Charismatic/Empowered Evangelical circle, that I started to hear these words of radical meaning again. Somewhere along my early journey, I became deeply interested in the spiritual significance of much of what happened in the Jesus People movements in Southern California, the West Coast and in traveling buses full of revival hippies. My research into that led me down many of the historical adventures of this era, some really good and some really bad. Some years later, I found myself interested in the Welsh Revivals During my research into the Welsh Revivals I found my interest renewed into the revival outbreaks of Southern California, but this time in a different era. The Azusa Street Revivals.I came across this, The Azusa Papers (kindle book) (and some others) based on the first hand reports of the Azusa Street Revival, on Amazon. There were a few things that stood out to me about this book that encouraged me to purchase it, besides the ninety-nine cent price tag. First this book was a collection of the newsletters that were printed, released and sent out during the climax of the meetings. This collection features the newsletters from Rev. William Seymour, who was one of the leading instruments used in the revival.
William Seymour was an African American Pastor, who was heavily influenced by the Holiness Movement during his time in Bible School. He was born in Louisiana defined by the same utter poverty that found many black families in the decades after the Civil War, as the south scrambled to reconstruct. William studied the Bible in Texas and found himself moving to Los Angeles to serve the call of the Lord. He found a run down building in the Los Angeles area, on a road called Azusa Street.
Seymour held services and renewal meetings in this old building that once had been an AME church and at one time apartments. He could only do what he could to preach the truth about the Kingdom of God, as he understood it. His work was known as the Apostolic Faith Mission. Somewhere along the way, God showed up in these humble meetings and allowed his Holy Spirit to break through in some people's lives. Some say, this is where the American Pentecostal movement got it's start, mainly because it's widely accepted that Charles Harrison Manson was touched by the Holy Spirit at one of these meetings, and would later form the Pentecostal movement denomination, Church of God in Christ. These meetings began in 1906 and ended somewhere to sometime in 1915.
Though church history, as widely ignored this movement and the role of William Seymour and the `things' that happened at the revivals, we find that this is one of the largest scales of racial reconciliation, as blacks, whites and others gathered together under one church roof. The Kingdom of God was no less radical in his calling of people during the Azusa Street Revival than he was in the gathering days of the churches of Acts. Their biggest threats and onslaught of rebuke came from protestant churches and denominations who questioned their orthodoxy, practices and the `outrageous' things that were happening in their meetings. However, church history cannot ignore the sheer amounts of people touched during these revivals and as God used the Holy Spirit to pour out the Kingdom of God and draw people to know their creator. Evangelicals from all over the United States and world came to see investigate what was happening and to pursue after God. By 1905, God had rolled up his sleeves and evangelicals were being challenged and convicted by what they saw in these meetings and brought a piece of the revival and their understandings of it, back home to their churches and began to pray for and incorporate it's ideals. The way in which it spread to churches across America and impact them, is the significance of this movement that we overlook.
To help testify, teach and proclaim the Kingdom of God and debrief their meetings, Seymour began sending out a newsletter that eventually was going to over 50,000 individuals. He called his newsletter, The Apostolic Faith. This collection of the papers, shows Seymour's heart and plays first hand witness to the names, faces and teachings of the early days of the revival. I know many people who still oppose this style of ministry, will question some practices of the revivals towards the last days, but I truly believe it's start was one of God and his kingdom. These papers humbly portray the heart and love for God and others that Seymour and his church held in their hearts.
If you're interested in seeing revival and renewal happen again. So am I. Look no further than some proof and testimonies of how it happened before. It won't happen because of church planting, but church plants will be a result. I was deeply moved, convicted and encouraged to pursue further into the Kingdom of God as I read the many healings, signs and wonders of God demonstrating his love for us and as I read the testimony of the power these things had in making peoples paths straight and bringing them to God.

The Azusa Papers edition by William Seymour Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
Another testimony to the powerful outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the US only with more personal reference to the people involved. It is incredible to learn of the effort so many believers made to get close to this power and to receive this gift from our Lord. It is a gift, the baptism of fire, and your life should not, will not, be the same if you receive this blessing and take it truly 'to heart'.
There is nothing can replace the place of primary resource in a serious research. Anyone who is interested in studying Pentecostalism has to have this collection. I am glad that it is now available in form with a very low price.
I loved reading the paper written during this wonderful revival. To hear of the lives changed during this move of God was a real inspiration. We need this type of move again!
The Azusa Papers are fascinating excerpts from the Revival that swept the world and began at the turn of the 20th century on Azusa Street in California. There were miracles, signs and wonders, along with manifestations of God pouring out his Spirit on worshippers seeking God. People spoke in tongues as the Spirit gave the utterance - just as they did when the church was born in the book of Acts, Chapter 2. Pentecostalism was reborn and would continue growing into this day. I highly recommend the Azusa Papers to all who are interested in reading about this phenomenal event that brought people from all over the world to Azusa Street in 1901.

I have been encourage to seek God more earnestly for an authentic awakening in my life and those around me. We need a heaven sent Revival now to refresh the Church and our communities for the glory of Jesus Christ and the salvation of many. Peace
I have been a member of the AofG, UPC and COGIC churches since I was a child. It was blind luck that I found this book and ordered it. A must for our churches!! This is the "Father" of our movement. Sadly, it was 100 years later that the AofG and COGIC attempted to rebuild together...which I believe was the Creator's purpose of this great revival. Good Luck
A book for serious Christians who are tired of playing Church and participating in dead services that are under the control of men and not God. Bartleman gives a clear and concise account of what was required of the faithful in the great Pentecostal revival of the Azusa Street outpouring of the Holy Spirit of God from 1906 to 1909. He goes well beyond the Los Angeles, Azusa Street Mission in explaining how and where this great grace of God was manifest and the humility of the faithful that were blessed during this memorable season in the Church. In very many ways he points out how rigid traditional religious practices are strongholds that must be overcome before the power of God can fall once again upon His Church. Complete surrender is the key to Pentecostal revival, which we direly need today.
