Review:

"Timothy Miller's well-documented biography of Charles M. Sheldon richly illumines a fascinating chapter in American religious history as it tells the story of a flamboyant reformer and crusader, prolific inspirational author, and beloved parish minister." --Robert T. Handy, Union Theological Seminary.

"A vivid picture of the spirit of the man, of his times, and of contemporary church life."--Winthrop S. Hudson, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
"An impressive, readable, and vivid account of Dr. Sheldon's life, as fascinating as a novel, yet meticulous in scholarship. This volume is highly commended: don't miss it." --"Congregational Journal"

." . . he [Miller] also reveals Sheldon as a tireless crusader; a rare bridge between the worlds of the Christian Social Gospel and more conventional, almost conservative, pietism; and an American original."
--"The Christian Century. "
