Where Sin Abounds

A brief look.

As any Pentecostal Christian will readily attest, the Spirit blows where it will. Stanley A. Steward does not think it incongruous that the Spirit’s gusts would flutter amid the decadence of Las Vegas. In Where Sin Abounds, Steward, for 15 years a pastor in Sin City, tells the remarkable story of Pentecostalism’s flourishing within America’s casino capital. Much good has happened in Vegas on the Spirit’s account. Let’s hope it stays there.—Matt Reynolds
