About This Book

NZCW-HR

FIRE AT THE MOUNT is the story of Mount Maunganui Baptist Church during the 1970s under the ministry of Rev. Graeme Coad. As one of the early Baptist churches in New Zealand to champion the charismatic movement, the book tells how the baptism and gifts of the Holy Spirit were introduced and how many, especially unchurched youth, found new life. The book details the growth of the church, records stories of individual lives transformed, and seeks to bring some evaluation. Joint writers, Jeanette Knudsen of Tauranga, and Beverley Coad, now living in Florida, USA, both attended the church and experienced first hand the events recounted in the book. This is not just a book about past events. It provides food for thought about the way we do church today, encouraging Christians to seek today’s version of renewal in church life.

Writers: Jeanette Knudsen & Beverley Coad
