In Search of Ophir Tim King

This book is a great addition to Pentecostal Church History, African Christianity and Church History in General. In Search of Ophir is the story of the small group of churches within the Assemblies of God denomination. It charts the course of the rise and eventual decline, of a church organisation that has influenced through its people, Pentecostal Christianity throughout the world. Every person who once called Zimbabwe home and were members of the Assemblies of God in this small country, should read this book. Every student of African Pentecostal history or church history, should make this book essential reading in their studies. In Search of Ophir is part academic, part oral history and part hagiography. A highly readable volume.
