From the back of the book " We are in the ministry of all people, ought to read biography. We minister to real people, and the better we understand great men and their times, the better we can minister to our people in our times. A truly good biography of a great person has a universal quality about it that makes it touch of life at many points. Whenever I read a good biography of a Christian leader, especially of a preacher, it makes me glad that God called me to preach!"
