Who was this man? A sterling philanthropist and educator, D. L. Moody was also the finest evangelist in the nineteenth century - bringing the transformative message of the gospel before 100 million people on both sides of the Atlantic in an age long before radio and television.
Thousands of underprivileged young people were educated in the schools he established. He started a mission in the slums of Chicago, in an abandoned saloon, which in time drew children in the hundreds and prompted a visit from President-elect Abraham Lincoln in 1860.

Drawing on the best, most recent scholarship, D. L. Moody - A Life chronicles the incredible journey of one of the great souls of history.
