"The world has yet to see what God can do with a man fully consecrated to Him." These words, spoken to D.L. Moody by a fellow evangelist, fired his imagination and gave him a vision for living all-out to the glory of God. "By God's help, I aim to be that man," Moody said. Moody preached the gospel to more than 100 million people in the pre-television era. His energy and vision gave birth to fruitful ministry ventures in publishing and education. He was an innovator, and encourager, a disciple-maker. He had a passion for souls. In these pages, Christians today can find a model of biblical passion, vision, and commitment. Lyle Dorsett's lucid, thoughtful prose reveals the heart of this great evangelist, recounting his life and realistically probing his strengths, weakenesses, virtues, faults, triumphs, struggles, and motivations to find a man after God's own heart." -- from the inner front jacket flap. "Lyle Dorsett, one of America's foremost historians, writes with the insight and passion of an evangelist. That's why this book throbs with wonder. More than a definitive study on Moody, it gets to the heart of things, and shows how God can work through a man willing to take Him at His Word and let the Holy Spirit have His way. Read it'; it has a tonic for your soul." -- Robert E. Coleman, Director, Trinity International University. "I thoroughly enjoyed each chapter and gladly recommend it. Chapter four alone, on Moody and the Civil War, is worth the price of the book." -- George Sweeting, Chancellor, Moody Bible Institute. "D.L. Moody was a towering giant of the faith, an anointed powerful communicator of the gospel, and, most of all, a man exemplifying the humility and love of Christ. He is truly a model for all age groups. This book is an insightful look at a great man of God." - Bill Bright, Founder and President, Campus Crusade for Christ International. Lyle Dorsett has written a fascinating account of D.L. Moody's life, using new materials in previously unpublished letters to demonstrate his humility, his relationship with his family and deep concern for his children, his interest in immigrants and poor young women, and his undaunted confidence in the young. This will be of great interest to evangelists, all Moody scholars, and the general public." -- Patty Stout, great-tranddaughter of D.L. Moody. "D.L. Moody may have lived 100 years ago, but his life's story speaks to this genneration with the same power that it did in the 19th century. Here is the story of an ordinary man who rose from poverty with only a minumum of education to bring two continents, Europe and North America, to repentance. No one can read this book without getting tremendously excited, motivated, and deeply moved by God." -- Luis Palau, International Evangelist. Seller Inventory # 007246
