“You have inspired me! It was your writing and passion that was part of God igniting a fresh spark in my soul. Bless you. I am delighted to endorse this training manual. You are gift to your Alliance family.”—Rev. David Hearn, President, The Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada

“ I am very excited about Paul King’s new book about “Healing Communities.” In the early days of the C&MA, “Houses Of Healing” were a powerful part of our ministry. I hope this book will be used of God to spark an interest in this much-needed ministry, and give guidance to those led of God to launch into it. I urge everyone in Christian Ministry to read this book!”—Rev. Dick Sipley, Associate Evangelist, Canadian Revival Fellowship, Alliance pastor, author of Understanding Divine Healing

“Paul King is a wonderful Alliance historian. More than that he is passionate to see the original vision of the early Alliance leaders restored in our day. This analysis of healing homes is insightful and helpful. It is more than a history though. It is a helpful, practical guide on the practice of prayer for healing, and of our need to boldly pray for the healing ministry to become a common practice today. Read this to both learn and be refreshed.” —Rev. Dr. David Chotka, Chair, Alliance Pray!Team (C&MA Canada); Lead Pastor, Heritage Park Alliance Church (Windsor, Ontario); Conference Speaker; Author, Power Praying, Discerning The Voice, Sifting Our Discerning.

Author Paul L. King, C&MA historian and theologian, shows how the early C&MA, a robustly evangelical movement, embraced many practices and doctrines of the new Pentecostal movement following the famous Azusa Street Revival of 1906. Yet in following decades, the C&MA distanced itself from the Pentecostal and later charismatic movements. The reasons? Partly because the C&MA insisted on a non-exclusive view of speaking in tongues and on discernment-distinguishing the gold of genuine manifestations of the Holy Spirit from the spurious.

But also because the C&MA allied itself increasingly with non-Pentecostal evangelicalism. Genuine Gold urges the C&MA to rekindle the flame of spiritual renewal through its carefully documented history of the Alliance’s early vibrancy.

“Nuggets from the whole spectrum of God’s people…sage advice.” -Dr. Neil T. Anderson

“I recommend both the man and his writings.” -Bill Johnson, Pastor, Bethel Church

“A biblically sound and immensely practical guide to healing, forged in the white-hot fires of the author’s personal (victorious) battle with cancer. It is not a heavy theoretical discourse but something you would want to put in the hands of a dear friend needing healing, without fear of flakiness or extremism. Chapter 15 on the overcoming power of worship is a true gem. Heartily recommended.” -Henry I. Lederle, D.Th.
