MEDIA ADVISORY, Oct. 13 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Genuine Flow is a unique combination of Pentecostal history, biography, specific instruction, and contemporary examples.

The Genuine Flow will be introduced to the public at Billye Brim's 2010 Prayer Conference Oct. 28 - Nov. 1 in Branson, MO.

This weighty book, (8-1/2 x 11, 240 pages with numerous pictures) begins by telling the story of Mel's mentors, the Rev. and Mrs. J.R. Goodwin. The Goodwins had visited the meetings of Smith Wigglesworth, and flowed powerfully in all nine gifts of the Holy Spirit. In turn, they mentored and spoke into the lives of Kenneth Hagin Sr., John Osteen, Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, Ralph Wilkerson, Marilyn Hickey, Billye Brim, and Mel Montgomery.

The Genuine Flow details how the Goodwins first came into Pentecostal power, describing many of the almost countless miracles they experienced in their 40 years of ministry. Included also are the Goodwins' direct teachings on spiritual gifts and prophetic ministry.

In The Genuine Flow, Rev. Montgomery shares the spiritual principles he learned directly from the Goodwins, and truths he has discovered and applied in over 20 years of ministering in spiritual gifts. "This is not a memorial to the past," says Rev. Montgomery. "It is a template for how to flow in spiritual gifts in the present while remaining balanced and biblical."

The Genuine Flow also presents lessons to be learned about the Holy Spirit from the lives of: Kathryn Kuhlman, F.F. Bosworth, Bishop C. H. Mason, Lester Sumrall, Oral Roberts, Howard Carter, David Du Plessis, Stanley Frodsham, and others.

Much of The Genuine Flow is based on original research drawn from interviews with Sister Goodwin, Goodwin associates, and rare early Pentecostal audio recordings, most of which had never been copied or released to the public before they were given to Brother Mel.

Comments or endorsements for this exciting book have been provided by: Ralph A. Wilkerson, Marilyn Hickey, Billye Brim, Pat Harrison, Dodie Osteen, and Dr. Mark Roberts -- Director of the Holy Spirit Research Center at Oral Roberts University.
