Howard A. Goss: A Pentecostal Life

by Robin Johnston

Howard Goss was not only the founding general superintendent of the United Pentecostal Church, but was also a leading pioneer of the North American Pentecostal movement. His life story provides an important window on the development of the modern Pentecostal movement in general and the Oneness movement in particular. Goss’s passion for the restoration of the church to its apostolic roots illustrates the hunger in early Pentecostals to return to Pentecost. This book tells the story of what it means to live a Pentecostal life.

Excellent. A clear, objective biography of Howard A. Goss with some great history of the early Oneness Pentecostal movement thrown in. Highly recommend!

[David Fuller]

Very interesting book. Lots of information about Howard A. Goss as well as the early days of the modern day outpouring of the Holy Ghost. I believe Howard A. Goss was a great leader. He continued to fellowship with other Pentecostals. I wish apostolic leaders today would be more willing to reach out to other Pentecostals.

[Randy Pollock]

A deep dive not only into the life of Howard Goss, but of the early history of Pentecostalism in North America. A wonderful read.

[Kris Prince]

I enjoyed this well written and studied book. The author obviously put a great deal of time and energy into this work and it’s obvious by the list of references and bibliography.

[Janice Rose]

It is an enjoyable history book about Howard Goss and the history of Pentecostal life in the early 1900s.

Great introduction to the man, although more information on his family life would have been ideal.
