This is a book full of short biographical sketches of men: men who did the work of an evangelist (II Timothy 4:5), that high, holy office, the individuals of which are a gift of God to the churches, to the nation (Ephesians 4:11-12)! As such, these worthies wrought revivals of righteousness, raised up standards of spirituality, resisted the forces of evil, redeemed through their preaching multitudes of death-doomed, Hell-bound sinners to Christ, to Heavenly home and hope. Meet these soul-winning personalities in their hours of deepest conviction of sin, in their hallowed hours of their conversion of soul, in their holy hour of their call to evangelism and in their hallelujah hours of conquest for Christ. The notables biographically sketched here are: Charles Alexander; Hyman Appelman; Francis Asbury; William Biederwolf; William Booth; David Brainerd; Billy Bray; Fred Brown; Howard Cadle; William Cary; John Carrara; Peter Cartwright; Wilbur Chapman; Jonathan Edwards; Christmas Evans; Charles Finney; Mordecai Ham; Praying Hyde; Bob Jones, Sr.; Sam Jones; Adoniram Judson; Jacob Knapp; B.
