1929: A Crisis That Shaped the Salvation Army's Future by John Larsson

by John Larsson, Berni Georges (Illustrator)

In 1929, a constitutional storm that had long been gathering suddenly burst, sweeping from office General Bramwell Booth, the son and successor to William Booth. So traumatic was this event that for many years '1929' - for that is how it was known - was only talked of in hushed tones in Army circles. The telling of what happened was left to those from outside the Army family. Now after 80 years the full story of the crisis, with all its astonishing twists and turns, is set out by a Salvationist writer. In the drafting of this account, General John Larsson (Retired) has had access to hitherto unpublished material, much of it in the Army's heritage centres around the world.

An excellent account of the 1929 high council bringing both an honest and sympathetic view of all those involved. It gave me a deeper understand of what was a life changing event for the whole Salvation Army

This is a well written account of an interesting time in Salvation Army history. I was familiar with the story but still found it quite interesting.
