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. Lyle Dorsett's lucid, thoughtful prose reveals the heart of this great evangelist, recounting his life and realistically probing his strengths, weaknesses, virtues, faults, triumphs, struggles, and motivations to find a man after God's own heart.

"Thorough bio, placing the events of his life firmly in their historical contexts. Well written and well researched." — Rick (4 out of 5 stars)
"Thorough bio, placing the events of his life firmly in their historical contexts. Well written and well researched."
“D. L. Moody may have lived one hundred years ago, but his life’s story speaks to this generation with the same power that it did in the nineteenth century. Here is the story of an ordinary man who rose from poverty with only a minimum 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.”
“D. L. Moody was a towering giant of the faith, an anointed and powerful communicator of the gospel, and, most of all a man exemplifying the humility and love for Christ. He is truly a model for all age groups. This book is an insightful look at a great man of God.”
“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.”
“To our desperate world struggling with broken families, poverty, and hopelessness, D. L. Moody brings visionary inspiration. To our jaded world looking on men of God with skepticism, and even cynicism, D. L. Moody brings integrity. To our self-centered world starving for love, D. L. Moody brings a Christ-centered passion for souls.”
