More than a century after his death D. L. Moody remains a towering figure whose influence of his evangelism is still felt; the institutions he founded in America continue to flourish; his place in history is secure. But it is his personality that commands attention: rugged, delightful, compassionate, a man of total integrity, with a supreme gift for bringing Christianity before a whole range of contemporary hearers and putting them to work for God. Dwight Lyman Moody (even his wife called him D. L.) was the outstanding evangelist of his time - in his pioneering endeavour and fervour Moody has become an enduring figure of stature and inspiration. He landed at Liverpool, England, unknown and unexpected but when he left Britain -Scotland, Ireland and England were at his feet, he was contagious John Pollock captures this infectiousness in his classic biography.
I am relatively new to a life of following Jesus and I had heard many people speaking so highly of Moody. There are so many biographies of him, but I believe that God placed this one right in my hands. Many times I broke down and wept as I read this book. It is such a beautiful thing to see how God used and is still using this man who surrendered his life completely. Pollock portrays Moody's life in probably the most accurate way by getting many differant perspectives. He quotes from many journals, diares, letters and newspapers. It was very interesting to see how God molded and developed Moody throughout his life and I learned a lot about my relationship with Christ.
