Description
God’s Man for the Gilded Age – The Amazing Story Of DL Moody
A biography of one of the most important figures in 19th-century America, evangelist Dwight L. Moody. Far ahead of his time, Moody forged the bond between revivalism and the mass media, and in doing so, preached to a global audience of tens of millions of people. It is estimated that over one million souls were saved during the years Moody spent on the front lines for the Lord Jesus Christ.
To write this amazing work, author Bruce J Evensen visited the towns and cities throughout America, and around the world, where Moody conducted his evangelistic campaigns in the last quarter of the 19th century. Evensen went through mountains of microfilm of old newspaper articles to compile what Moody’s critics had to say before meeting him, and after hearing him preach. This is the story of DL Moody like you’ve never heard it before.

I first read this book back in 2015, and it blew me away! The amazing story of DL Moody told from the perspective of his critics and the news reporters who covered his evangelistic journeys. A must-read!!!
