Caffeinated Book Dragon reviewed Charismatic Chaos by John MacArthur

Couldn't finish reading. It feels like I read a lot of what's come from these pages in other works since.

Kept falling asleep every few pages trying to read this, so by page 100, I gave up. It feels like I read a lot of the info in other works, and considering how long ago it was published, I bet newer works on the subject of charismatic preaching and leadership have pilfered from this one. Worth looking at as a time capsule, perhaps, but if you're already familiar with the subject, this will feel terribly repetitive.
