Born in rural Northfield, Mass., in 1837, D. L. Moody moved to Chicago in his early twenties. It was in the bustle of this rapidly growing city that god began an incredible work through Moody that would extend forty years. He was a mighty soul winner in an era when travel was slow and broadcast tools nonexistent. In four decades, a million souls were saved through his preaching and programs, three christian schools were established, a Christian publishing house was launched bearing his name, and thousands of ministers were inspired to pursue more powerful, effective ministry. To this day, the powerful words of D. L. Moody continue to draw men and women to Christ. This book highlights the messages of D. L. Moody. The language has been gently modernized for greater relevance to contemporary times, but none of the spiritual substance has been diluted. The material is profound, thought-provoking, and life-changing, but easy to follow. This is the perfect book to help you dig deeper and be challenged to expand your faith.

Dwight Lyman Moody was a predominant evangelist, author, and publisher. Raised on a farm in Massachusetts, he moved first to Boston, where he converted to evangelical Christianity in 1856, and then to Chicago, where he prospered in business. He gave up business in 1860 and engaged in missionary work with the YMCA (1861-73). He founded Moody Church and preached in the slums, emphasizing literal interpretation of the Bible and the need to prepare for the Second Coming. In 1870 he teamed up with the hymn writer Ira D. Sankey (1840-1908), and they began a series of highly popular revival tours in Britain and the U.S. Moody founded the Northfield School (1879), the Mount Hermon School (1881), and the Chicago Bible Institute (1889; now the Moody Bible Institute).
