Holy Roller: A White Reporter Enters the World of Black Pentecostal Spirituality


Overview

Julie Lyons, working as a crime reporter for the Dallas Times Herald, was familiar with the most violent areas in South Dallas. One night she went there alone, not to report on a shooting but to follow a hunch, convinced that somewhere in this threatening part of town, miracles were taking place. Is it possible that crack addicts were healed instantly of their addictions? That criminals were choosing to leave behind their lives of crime? That desperate sinners were delivered from evil spirits and set free in a new life of faith? At a small Pentecostal church, Lyons found the amazing story she was looking for. What she didn't count on was that the world of inner-city holy rollers would take hold of her own life. Gritty, moving, and at times humorous, Holy Roller shows what it's like to be immersed in the ""Holy Ghost and fire"" atmosphere of a black Pentecostal church. It is the inspiring and eye-opening story of people who believe fully in God's power and experience miraculous results.
