Sanctified Georgia: History of Peach State Pentecostalism

As the second book in Ovell Hamilton's Sanctified Series, Sanctified Georgia: History of Peach State Pentecostalism documents the stories and legacies of the Pentecostal Movement throughout the Peach State.  Records display how the founder of the Church of God in Christ, Inc., Bishop Charles Harrison Mason, sent preachers of Holiness to the state of Georgia for the purpose of evangelizing and spreading the COGIC message of holy and righteous living. Through different splinter groups COGIC Georgia became a mainstream religious organization that contributed greatly to the overall success of the parent denomination.  For the most part, I would like this book to be utilized as a catalyst, tool, and foundation for other states across the nation and international territories to document their specific history concerning the development of the  Church of God in Christ.  The historic model portrayed in this reading starts with the founding fathers and mothers in the state of Georgia, and their propensity to serve God, build the COGIC Church, and leave a legacy for the next generation of Holiness-Pentecostal followers and leaders.  The focal point for this type of state/local documentation allows readers to have a groundbreaking perspective on how the COGIC movement started, persevered, and changed over the course of twelve decades.
