The author, originally a deaconess in the Methodist Episcopal Church, felt called to establish a holiness ministry in Kentucky while a student at Asbury College in the 1920's. She undertook preaching tours throughout the eastern part of the state & organized a group of preaching stations that became known as the Kentucky Mountain Holiness Association. Spurning offers from a Methodist bishop to place the Association under that church's authority, McConnell appointed & supervised a network of pastors, most of whom were women. She also founded several boarding schools, a Bible college, & a Christian radio station. This book is her account of how the ministry of the KMHA grew & spread..
