Meet Brother Tommy Welchel, who at the age of seventeen, running from the law, ran right into the arms of God at Venice Beach, California. There Tommy met the Lord and settled at Pisgah where he began six years of preparing to be used of God by listening to the Saints of Azusa tell their stories over and over until they were indelibly etched in his memory. These retired saints recalled their stories of their days at The Azusa Revival when they were just teenagers and young people being used of God in mighty ways, performing breathtaking miracles and wondrous healings.
This book is the fulfillment of a prophecy made by Jean Darnall in 1966 that the stories that were etched on Tommys mind would be preserved in a book. Tommy kept her words and these exciting stories close to his heart until the day God was ready to put His plan into motion.
A must read! This book will change your life, renew your hope, and inspire you to seek Gods face in preparation for His outpouring as we begin this new century.

Endorsement
I believe that this book is published at exactly the right time. I read it aloud in meetings. The result is a manifestation of Gods Presence and an extreme hunger for these things in the people of God. I read it aloud on my radio program and our phones light up after each broadcast.
