Reseña del libro "Pentecost, Ecstasy and Danger: They Claimed to Know god and Changed Forever! (en Inglés)"
Caught in this religious whirlwind in the 1930s, Edmundo and Aurea Jordan became ensnared irremediably in a seismic historical Christian revolution: Christian Pentecost. This story is about the Jordan family in this whirlwind. It is "History from Below."It was not to incite violent revolution in South America. Edmundo and Aurea Jordan proclaimed truth and a different message of freedom. This message spread rapidly throughout Venezuela and around the globe through them and countless others. The power of that message began to be felt worldwide and documented in the early 1950s in the press and academia.The scope of the Jordans' mission placed them face-to-face with troublesome issues of religious intolerance, persecutions, fanaticism, ecumenism, and liberal Marxist theologies of the time.They brought a message of hope and a unique spirituality to the poor, the disenfranchised, the rich, the powerful, and the lost in Venezuela, the Caribbean, and North America. Many others went during this time. This narrative is not intended to be another book of faith or even religion, although the Jordan story occurs in a religious backdrop. Our parents, Edmundo Jordan and his very young wife, Aurea, left from New York for Venezuela in 1936 infected with "fire" and love from heaven.Indulge this book through a family story. Edmundo and Aurea Jordan raised a family of fifteen children in a foreign land during turbulent times not only of social-religious commotions, but during a World War, revolts, and armed revolutions. Live with nine brothers and six sisters.
