Summary

At the beginning of the 20th century, evangelicalism was seen as a dying movement within Christianity. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, came Aime Semple McPherson. Aimee mixed religion with Hollywood-level showmanship to amass a global following and bring evangelicalism to the forefront. A lone female preacher in a sea of men, she founded America's first megachurch and became a pioneer televangelist. But what did it take to build a following of that scale? And who helped her get there? The answers will reveal a complicated history about the fight to put faith back in American politics
