      abstract = {Marjoe: Filmed before televangelism became a phenomenon,  this biography/expose details the rise, fall, and  self-exposure of Marjoe Gortner, a one-time child  evangelist and church tent preacher.  Marjoe would rather  have been a rock star-with a different upbringing might  have been-but this is as close as he can get.  That he  manipulates the spiritual passions of his audience is  subordinate to the satisfaction of performing and  connecting emotionally.  Even as he spouts meaningless  religious rhetoric, and takes the money of those expecting  miracles and salvation, is he not giving the people exactly  what they want, performing the spontaneous and charismatic  rites of Pentecostal Christianity in a manner that is  skillful and respectful of the traditions and expectations  of that faith?},
