I am reviewing a copy of The Miracle Lady through Wm. B. Eerdman’s Publishing Company and Netgalley:
Johnny Carson welcomed Kathryn Kulman as a guest of The Tonight Show On October 15.1974 with this. “I imagine there are very few people who are not aware of Kathryn Kuhlman. She probably, along with Billy Graham, is one of the best-known ministers or preachers in the country.” Billy Graham is better remembered but Kathryn Kulman (1907-1976) was a well known evangelist. She preached faith and miracles to millions of people over the fifty five years of ministry. She was one of the most important figures in the rise of Charasmatic Christianity.
In this book author Amy Collier Artman not only tells the story of Kathryn Kulman’s life, and her ministry she also shows how it relates to the story of Charismatic Christianity, particularly on how Charismatic Christianity moved from the fringes of American Society to the mainstream.
The Miracle Lady traces Kathryn Kulman’s remarkable career as a preacher who was media savy, and it fleshes out Kulman’s unconventional character. The author shows how Kathryn Kulman skillfully navigated oppressive structures, rules, and landmines that surrounded female religious leaders in conservative culture.
