An Episcopal priest, a spiritual wilderness, and a couple who shared the fire that led to a longed-for renewal

This now classic story tells how the Charismatic Movement began and swept into churches across America. Father Dennis is still hailed as one of the central figures in the early renewal movement. Nine O'Clock in the Morning is Father Dennis's testimony that God can and will release His power to His people if we allow Him to truly become the King of our lives.

When, in 1960, Father Dennis Bennett announced to his congregation that he had experienced a new outpouring of God's Spirit ... the renewal movement can be said to have begun.
