Profiles in Evangelism

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.
