Lewis A. Drummond - The Evangelist (bc1-636)

After sixty years in ministry, his influence is unprecedented, his impact unmistakable. But how do we begin to measure the enduring value of one man's life and work? A fascinating and informative inquiry into the spiritual, cultural, and historical impact of Billy Graham's ministry. In this intriguing survey, evangelical scholar Lewis Drummond takes on the timely task of evaluating the integrity, historical authenticity, and eternal significance of this century's best-known evangelistic career. Detailed honest, and insightful, this volume evaluates Billy Graham's life and ministry in the revealing light of Scripture and evangelical tradition - helping illuminate both his place in the sweep of history and his possible significance for the future.

E. & L. Harvey - Call Back (bc1-316)

Which of us have not at some time in our lives, been perplexed, cast down or despairing until we have lifted some book and read the account of a saintly man or woman who bore suffering triumphantly? We then have obtained a renewed hope, a regenerated faith and a revived purpose because some Christian "called back" to us over the years, telling us that he, too, endured illness, testing's and opposition like unto which we ourselves were undergoing at the time. This is the aim of this book as it shares insights from such people as Catherine Booth, Elizabeth Fry, Francis Ashbury, and George Muller

Dorothy Clarke Wilson - Ten Fingers For God (bc1-003)

This book describes extraordinary servanthood - the life of Dr. Paul Brand, a medical St. Francis of Assisi, whose life and work have been a blessing to countless thousands of leprosy victims on five continents. Through surgeries (over 3,000 in India alone), the pioneering research he has conducted and inspired, and his empathy for the poor and forsaken, Dr. Brand has achieved fame in the medical world and the countries of the heart worldwide. As a surgeon, teacher and environmentalist, Dr. Brand "has chosen the middle way of balancing the material and the mystical, the prophetic and the pragmatic". His spirit of self-sacrifice and humility can best be distilled by his sureness that "what a pity that a man has only one life to spend, one pair of feet, two hands, ten fingers!"

Good condition, slight creasing on the spine.
