Book synopsis

Beginning in Toronto in the mid-1990s, the Vineyard Church became the site of ritualized religious renewal, commonly known as the "Toronto Blessing." The renewal was defined by reports of uncontrollable laughter, weeping, speaking in tongues, animal noises, and falling on the floor during worship. In Catch the Fire, Wilkenson and Althouse examine the history of Vineyard Church and the role and meaning of the soaking prayer. Using first-hand experience from attending conference, churches, and meetings in the U.S., Canada, Britain, Australia, and New Zealand, they contextualize this form of prayer as an adaptation of the Pentecostal "charismatic prayer" that follows believe to facilitate divine acts of forgiveness, reconciliation, compassion, and benevolence.
