A thorough review, in an undramatic and unemotional way, of the many evidences of 'signs and wonders' in the worldwide church in the 1980s. Well written, with Scriptural reference where necessary, and a generally balanced viewpoint from a psychiatrist who was initially pretty skeptical.
A bit long-winded in places, and a bit too much emphasis on a supposed worldwide revival that that the author expected in the wake of the Vineyard movement, but still an interesting read for anyone wanting to know more about what is behind the often bizarre meetings that took place in this era.
