Title: A Fascinating Coming of Age Story
Review: Although I am not a Pentecostal, I read this book out of curiosity because I have Pentecostal friends. I was so caught up in the story that I could hardly put the book down. In fact, I read it twice in a week. The book opens the door to an amazing world and is highly entertaining.I expected "Growing Up Pentecostal" to either try to convince the reader of the merits of the Pentecostal faith or to be an expose showing the shortcomings of Pentecostalism. It did neither. Instead, it is a brilliantly written "coming of age" story which sometimes had me laughing and at other times close to tears.Mr. Conn tells his story with an almost brutal honesty, especially when he talks of his own doubts and of his relationship with his father. Although he is (or was) a preacher, Mr. Conn does not preach or try to persuade in this book. He simply shares an amazing tale that kept my rapt attention from the first page to the very end.
