Book Description
No one can claim to understand the American social and religious mind of the last half of the nineteenth century who does not understand sympathetically what evangelist Dwight L. Moody and his career represented. Moody was an entrepreneur, a self-made man, a living expression of much that was hearty and some of what was crass about religion in his day. This is the first biography to place him fully within the context of the broad social, theological, and cultural developments of his time. Most of the existing biographical literature about Moody is either simplistically eulogistic or sarcastically hostile. These polar views reflect the split that occurred within the Protestant church between fundamentalists and modernists during and after Moody's career. It is with an objective overview of these divergencies that the author has prepared his biography. Mr. Findlay demonstrates how Moody's outlook evolved from the small-town framework of early nineteenth-century New England and developed into the mainstream of American evangelicalism. In the rising cities of Boston and Chicago, he concentrated his efforts to urbanize revivalism as part of a general struggle to adapt a traditional faith to a rapidly changing external environment. After his triumphant revival crusades of the 1870s, the impact of his style and message faded before the progressive liberal approach to religion that was to shape twentieth-century Protestantism. The present biography of this great evangelist is far superior to any other, both for its scholarly approach in determining the place of evangelicalism in American social and religious history and for its portrayal of the overpowering impact of Moody's personality. It will be particularly fascinating to those interested in American social history and the history of evangelism, the man and the movement.

Book Description
Doing the same thing every day can make it seem common or ordinary. But there is nothing even remotely ordinary about a daily encounter with Jesus Christ. Walking with the living Son of God through the ups and downs and ins and outs of daily circumstances doesn't just add value to life; it completely transforms it. Seeking and finding God in the course of a normal, three-dimensional day adds a fourth dimension: eternity. In the pages of God's Word we begin to grasp an eternal perspective that changes everything we experience. It isn't like getting a new pair of glasses; it's like getting a new pair of eyes. For well over thirty years through his teaching, preaching, and numerous books, Greg Laurie has been leading people into the adventure of knowing Christ and understanding the Bible. The readings in this book will kindle a new or renewed hunger to spend time in God's Word--and empower you to experience the life of His Son.
