Global Pentecost Charismat Christianity Ser.
Content:
Pentecostal Christianity is flourishing inside the prisons of Rio de Janeiro. To find out why, Andrew Johnson dug deep into the prisons themselves, spending two weeks living in a Brazilian prison as if he were an inmate and returning many times afterward to speak to the men and observe prison churches's worship services, which were led by inmates. If I Give My Soul provides a deeply personal look at the relationship between the margins of Brazilian society and the Pentecostal faith, both behind bars and in the favelas, Rio de Janeiro's peripheral neighborhoods.
