Synopsis

An Episcopal priest, a spiritual wilderness, and a couple who shared the fire that led to a longed-for renewal This now classic story tells how the Charismatic Movement began and swept into churches across America. Father Dennis is still hailed as one of the central figures in the early renewal movement. Nine O'Clock in the Morning is Father Dennis's testimony that God can and will release His power to His people if we allow Him to truly become the King of our lives. When, in 1960, Father Dennis Bennett announced to his congregation that he had experienced a new outpouring of God's Spirit ... the renewal movement can be said to have begun.

About The Author

Reverend Dennis Bennett (1917–1991) was born in England on October 28, 1917, the son of a Congregational minister. In 1949, he was ordained into the Congregational church, but in 1952 became ordained as an Episcopal priest. He was "prominently identified with the charismatic renewal from the beginning.The movement is usually dated from the Sunday morning in 1959 when Bennett announced to his congregation in Van Nuys, California, that he had been baptized with the Holy Spirit and had spoken in tongues. As a result, a small opposition group in the congregation challenged him to cease and desist from what later came to be called charismatic experiences. He voluntarily resigned his pastorate, feeling that he did not have adequate understanding to defend his position. In 1960, he accepted an invitation to become vicar of St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Seattle, Washington. Within six years the little mission church had become a strong parish. For a decade it was a major center from which word of baptism with the Holy Spirit would spread worldwide, especially in the mainline denominations. Thousands of people experienced the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a result of hearing Bennett's testimony.

I enjoyed most of this book. It was given to me as a tool to help search my exploration on the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. While the first half was enlightening and, a large portion was just a diary of the author’s travels. Some encounters were quite interesting, but many were ordinary and didn’t ad......more

Goodreads review by Liam on August 01, 2017

Read this in a day, but spent a lot of time reading, so I can't really judge. It seemed to go quickly. It's a well-written book detailing the attempted charismatic revival of an Episcopal church on the US West Coast— a church that was hostile to the change, and forced the pastor to resign and charis......more

For someone who wants their mind opened to the truth of the baptism of the Holy Spirit and see it happen in a "high church" fellowship -- this is the book for you! I could not put it down and have had several friends read it too. Very good book!......more
