"Spellbinder" by Harold Robbins explores the world of religious revivalism through the story of "Preacher," a charismatic evangelist who begins his career spreading a message of peace and love after returning from Vietnam. His "Church" initially attracts followers in California communes and surfing towns, where sex and drugs are as much a part of the culture as prayers. As his following grows but funds dwindle, Preacher encounters a powerful Texas billionaire who helps him transition into the realm of televangelism, allowing him to reach millions.
