Accounts of Latin American church growth in the 20th century typically focus on the astonishing numbers attending revivals, the many thousands converted and the innumerable churches planted.
After a while the statistics lose impact especially for those of us whose national church experience is very different. So David Miller's description of the rise of evangelical Christianity in Bolivia since the 1940s is refreshing because it tells the story or rather stories behind the statistics.
