McPherson was the most flamboyant, controversial minister in the U.S. between the world wars, building a megachurch, a mass media empire, and a political career to resurrect what she saw as America's Christian heritage. Sutton's study reveals a trail-blazing pioneer, marking the beginning of Pentecostalism's advance to mainstream American culture.
