Streams of Living Water: 100 Years of the Church of God in Mississippi (2009)
Self-published online using YuDu Publishing and available for free download at this website.
To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the introduction of the Church of God into Mississippi, I self-published an e-book tracing the history of the Church of God in Mississippi. This first volume highlights the missional focus of those early pioneers during the formation and development of the Church of God in Mississippi from 1909 through the mid-1940s. It examines briefly the diverse movements within Pentecostalism impacting the Church of God in Mississippi, followed by reflections of how the movement spread throughout the state prior to 1945. The story culminates with accounts of men and women from various locations who proclaimed the message of Jesus Christ and the full gospel in their local communities. This history is a culmination of more than 20 years of personal research and interviews, and it was published free-of-charge as my gift to the people of Mississippi. This e-book is now available for free download by clicking on the following link: http://www.louismorgan.info/mshistory.html I trust you will be inspired and informed when reading about God's faithfulness to Church of God members in Mississippi. History of the Azusa Street Revival (2005)
This is a brief history of the beginning and impact of the noted Azusa Street Revival in Los Angeles, California, which was led by William J. Seymour. The Azusa Street meetings is regarded as providing the impetus to the contemporary Pentecostal and Charismatic movements. Dr. Morgan was commissioned by the late Robert Fisher (who at the time was serving as director of the International Center for Spiritual Renewal) to write this history. This work served as the "history section" of the Azusa Street Centennial website. The Centennial was held in Los Angeles in April 2006 with more than 20,000 in attendance, and Dr. Morgan served on the Centennial Ministry Team. The history is preserved here for future: www.louismorgan.info/azusa

The story of Mamie Parker Williams is the history of the Church of God in one life. Reading it will inspire a new appreciation for the sacrifices of the church's pioneers and a new respect for its elders. You will smile and laugh and sigh and weep as you make your way through these pages. What a story! What a lady! Thanks, Louis Morgan, for introducing her to this generation! - Bill George, Editor-in-Chief Church of God Publications Sister Mamie Williams, who celebrates her 103rd birthday this year, has been a church mother to many hundreds of people, including my wife Geri and me! Sister Mamie and her late husband, the Reverend G.G. Williams, had a special talent for loving and helping young preachers get started in the ministry. Their influence continues to live throughout the world. - Paul F. Henson, Director SpiritCare Mamie Williams has faithfully served God and the Church of God whenever and wherever He had called and directed.

Published by White Wing Publishing House and Press (Cleveland, TN). The following excerpts were written at time of publication:
Memories of Moma tells the inspiring story of a remarkable woman of God, Clara Allison Priest. Her story is a testimony of God's grace and guidance in the lives of the pioneers of the Pentecostal Movement in Mississippi. I recommend this book as a valuable insight into the common heritage of the Church of God and Church of God of Prophecy. - R. Lamar Vest, General Overseer Church of God, Cleveland, Tennessee My friend, Louis Morgan, knows how important it is to study history. He knows that we gain valuable insight into the character of God when we look at how he dealt with people in the past. I pray this book will instill passion to know God in all who read it. - J. Lee Grady, Editor Charisma magazine As a teenager living in Magnolia, Mississippi, I came under the influence of Bishop J.T. and Evangelist Clara Priest, whose commitment to the work of the Lord is unparalleled with contemporaries of their day. Only heaven will reveal all accomplished in advancing the kingdom of God! - Reverend Richard Davis Church of God of Prophecy, Cleveland, Tennessee There is value in looking to the historical accounts of great women who have lived in difficult days and left a legacy of faith. Louis Morgan has brought to life the memories of his great-great grandmother who lived and ministered in the early to mid-1900s. It is hoped that her stories will provide moments of courage and a fresh point of view through the eyes of her faith. - Catherine H. Payne, Women's Ministries Coordinator Church of God of Prophecy, Cleveland, Tennessee |
