The awkward country boy with a grade-school education who became one of the church's greatest evangelists!
D. L. Moody was a successful business man whose ministry to men on the rough streets of Chicago in the late 1850's eventually opened the way to his becoming one of America's greatest evangelists. Enlisting Ira Sankey as his gifted musical associate, Moody spent two years touring the British Isles, and attendance at their meetings reached into the millions. Returning to the States, the two men took their gospel message to the cities of America with great success. Without radio or television, over 100 million people were influenced by his ministry.
Moody founded three schools that continue to thrive today, although he was without higher education himself. And without the benefit of theological training, he reshaped Victorian Christianity and was responsible for two Christian publishing companies.
The amazing story of D. L. Moody and Ira Sankey.

The Amazing Story of the British Evangelist Whose Heroic Efforts Touched Society's Greatest Evils
The expressions on the faces of the men, women, and children on the filthy, smelling streets of London's East End in 1865 told the sad story: for them, life would never change. They would always be poor, always hungry. No one would champion their cause.
As William Booth walked their streets, the British evangelist was deeply moved and revolted by the squalor. He knew he must dedicate his life to bringing new hope to these people. At that moment, the Salvation Army was born, and under its passionate and energetic founder began its growth into one of the most famous evangelistic agencies in the world.

Why Left Behind Should Be Left Behind

Xulon Press

The Left Behind books by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins have swept across the Christian world. But what are the origins of such Left Behind ideas as the pretribulation rapture and the sharp distinction between Israel and the Church? The Origins of Left Behind Eschatology begins by investigating the eschatology behind the Left Behind stories, and selects eight teachings which are essential to that way of understanding the End Times. It then searches through the relevant documents produced by the Early Church and many since the Reformation, looking for the origins of each of those eight ideas and when and how they came together in a system. There are plenty of surprises. The Origins of Left Behind Eschatology is a slightly enlarged version of Bennett's PhD dissertation. It has been called a "clearly argued, thoroughly researched and overwhelmingly convincing thesis", the conclusions of which "should ... dispel much of the uncertainty that has dogged this area of millennial studies." (Crawford Gribben - author of Rapture Fiction and the Evangelical Crisis). David Malcolm Bennett was born in England during WW2, became a bookseller and moved to Australia in 1973. He has been writing seriously since 1985 and now writes fulltime. David has the degrees B.Th and M.Th (with merit) through the Australian College of Theology and a PhD from the University of Queensland (Australia). Amongst his other books are Why Left Behind Should be Left Behind and The General: William Booth (two volumes), all published by Xulon Press, and The Altar Call: Its Origins and Present Usage, published by the University Press of America. He is a member of Creek Road Presbyterian Church in Brisbane, Australia.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge called Edward Irving "a minister of Christ, after the order of Paul" Edward Irving was a great preacher, probably the best in Georgian Britain. He was also a profound theologian and a caring pastor. Yet, it is a strange fact of history that this Paul-like "minister of Christ" was eventually removed from the church he had made famous, unfairly expelled from his denomination for heresy, and at the end of his brief life, was demoted in the sect that emerged from his ministry. Towards the end of Irving's life, charismatic gifts emerged in his church amidst great controversy. He had already developed a theological rationale for such gifting, and his extensive teaching on spiritual gifts is still widely consulted today. Edward Irving was and is a controversial figure. It is time that his life, ministry, and teaching were reconsidered. Who was Edward Irving? How did he live? What made him outstanding? What made him so controversial? What is his legacy? These are the questions answered in Edward Irving Reconsidered. It is a compelling story, as sad as it is powerful.

CT (Charlie) Studd was a cricketer of the highest class. He played in the famed Test Match between England and Australia in 1882 that began the legend of the Ashes. From Ashes to Glory tells the story of this remarkable, dedicated man, and contains an authentic account of the 1882 Ashes Test, with all its drama. At the peak of his fame Studd retired from cricket to serve as a missionary in China. In 1885 he was one of seven men of wealth and privilege ('The Cambridge Seven'), who shocked the nation, by giving up everything to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the Chinese. While there he suffered much, but saw many people come to Christ. He later spent six years as a missionary in India, where he opened a school which is still serving the community today. In 1913 he went to Central Africa and became the founder of the mission organisation WEC International, which today has about 1,800 workers in 50 countries. Dr Evan Davies, former International Director of WEC International, recommends this book and reminds us that 'Today thousands enjoy being part of God's family because of Studd's pioneer example.'

David Malcolm Bennett's The Sinner's Prayer: Its Origins and Dangers seeks to find the reasons behind this disturbing situation. It examines various forms of the Sinner's Prayer to discover its nature and the assumptions behind it. It contrasts the Sinner's Prayer method of evangelism with biblical evangelistic practices and teaching. Bennett suggests it is an unbiblical method-dangerous and far less successful than is usually claimed-and then promotes methods of evangelism that are in line with the teaching of Scripture. Finally, this book traces the origins of this type of prayer, which are much more recent than is generally supposed. What part did Charles Finney, D. L. Moody, William Booth and Billy Graham play in its development?

The Sinner's Prayer: Its Origins and Dangers

The filthy back streets of London's East End in the Victorian era were home to every imaginable crime, vice and horror. Many thousands lived there without Christ and without hope, and no one seemed to care. But William Booth did care. In 1865 Booth began a mission which took the Gospel to these people. It became The Salvation Army and changed the lives of many thousands as it spread throughout London, Britain and the world, preaching a Gospel of redemption and holiness. New edition of previously published biography by one of the foremost authorities on William Booth and the beginning of The Salvation Army. Sold over 24000 books.

Leaders & Notable People

John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, was a great evangelist. He toured the British Isles for fifty years in the eighteenth century, preaching in churches, tiny chapels, village squares and in vast open areas, where he attracted enormous crowds. By the 1770s he was probably the most recognisable man in Britain, so much did he travel. He was also a sensitive counsellor, a concerned pastor, a thoughtful theologian and a brilliant organiser. There are some who believe that his influence was so great that he and his associates saved England from the ravages of a revolution similar to that which occurred in France at the end of that century. John Wesley: The Man, his Mission and his Message paints a picture of Wesley that is vivid and enduring. He appears in these pages as a real man, not a plastic saint, with all his astonishing talents, his clever sense of humour and his tragic weaknesses.
