Why God Raised Us Up

In Why God Raised Us Up, Ryan Giffin crisply retells

the remarkable story of the church's beginnings. Firmly

grounding the church's roots in the biblical story of God's

people and Christian history, Dr. Giffin expertly describes

the people, places, and events that led to the birth of the

Church of the Nazarene. From the East, West, and South,

three communities flowed together into one church

united around the message of holiness. Marvelously

illustrated with historic photos, this book offers a concise

and compelling narrative of how and why God raised up

the Church of the Nazarene.
