LONGWOOD, FL--Xulon Press is proud to announce the release of When Strong Men Wept ($15.99, paperback, 978-1-60957-064-4), the first in a new series from Dr. Michael Braden Knight that calls for the re-engineering of the Pentecostal/Charismatic community of faith. She has had a long and illustrious history since her humble beginnings, yet there is a call for reform within her ranks. The sensational, self-serving counterparts often noted within her organizations have crippled her effectiveness in the North American culture. She stands in danger of becoming what she once stood adamantly against: prideful, excessive, manipulative, self-serving, and sensational behavior. Within the pages of this book, the author issues a call for her to return to her roots of humility, self-sacrifice, and character.
"This book outlines the principle of leadership needed for her safe passage toward such a future," the author says. "Broken leaders make effective Christian leaders. The implications are enormous. The salvation and re-engineering of Christendom's most effective arm of evangelization lie within her future wake."
Dr. Knight received his call under an old revival tent on a sawdust floor at the age of sixteen. His 23 years of ministry in the Charismatic movement has taken him to four of its major Pentecostal denominations. As such, he has witnessed firsthand the dangers these modern-day communities have encountered, and is determined to change her fate with his urgent message.
