The first half of this book is primarily designed to take an in depth look at the most recent Charismatic entity, and its demise, that precipitated international attention and following during 2008. That was the "Strange Fire" offered in the Lakeland, Florida, visitation and its endorsement by Peter Wagner and his more than 500 appointed apostles within their Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders (ACPE). The most important segment within this portion of this book is Chapter 1 which outlines 47 entities that have changed the face of Pentecost, often negatively, from 1948 to the present time. The most important theme presented in this book, however, is found in the last half of the book, excerpted chapters from the author's first four books. Therein the author offers a valuable resource of material to help God's people to get back to the central theme consistent with the court of Pentecost from 1948 to 1956. And that is to once again make Christ alone our Master and Controller. It is only within that framework of spirituality, a place beyond Pentecost, beyond near omnipresent dominion theology within man's order, that we find true "discerning of spirits" functioning within God's true body of Christ.

About the Author

Clayt Sonmore describes himself as a watchman/historian/author. A very close friend, Erskine Holt (whom Sonmore calls a primary teacher-prophet of the great “latter rain” visitation during the middle of the past century) said some years ago: “Clayt and Jeanne have had many broad and unusual experiences in many Pentecostal streams, including much involvement with the ‘latter rain visitation’ which commenced in Canada in 1948. Hence, his books and other writings are an invaluable and valid record, as well as an accurate historical resource describing the ‘latter rain visitation’ that shook the whole world of Pentecost during the middle of this past century.”
