Sow Saal Ki Kahani is an Inspirational History of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church in India. From the inspiring lure of the Indian shore to a decade of silence, and on to a century of service, with centennial milestones of North India and of South India, the story moves on to the pinnacle of a return and a reward. Dr. Roger Hedlund in his Foreword views the book as “both a record and a celebration of important events and significant persons in that saga told by Bishop Moses Kumar as a participant.

The author’s earlier work, Setting Stones was designed as an ‘interpretive history’. Now at the threshold of the centennial, he was inspired to retell the whole story in a selective but inspiring manner. The saga depicts the lives of Bishop J.H. King who walked on the soil of India, and of some twelve missionaries who served the people to the best of their capabilities. The culmination of the story is seen in a return and a reward! So now on to a walk through the pages of the book!

Using his usual scholarly attributes, Dr. Moses Kumar has provided an extensive study of the work of the Holy Spirit through the International Pentecostal Holiness Church in India. This book will be the ground-breaking resource for future studies of the key individuals and efforts from native Indian leaders and pastors as well as from missionaries who spent much of their lives in India. Dr. Kumar has rightly captured that the work of God in India is indeed a Place of Hope among a People of Promise.
