This book describes historical parallels of Toronto Blessing

Although Eddie Ensley wrote this book in the early days of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, the phenomena it describes from Church history (early Church through the Middle Ages), including spiritual inebriation,holy laughter, and jubilation are now occurring in the worldwide Renewal that spread from Toronto and other centers starting in 1993-4. It therefore has renewed relevance for Church historians, theologians, and Christians of every tradition. Very few books are available that document these phenomena prior to the revivals of the Great Awakening in North America; but Ensley shows that a long-standing Catholic tradition also exists. --Rev.
