billy Sunday

I just finished the book by the above title. The last page had this paragraph: "When 1920's society rejected Jesus Christ's divinity, death, and resurrection - and the Bible in general - prominent intellectuals declared that soon such naive, barbaric superstitions would die with people like Billy Sunday. Within a generation or two, they believed, no one would accept such nonsense.
It did not happen.
Although Billy was dead, a young man still lived who had trembled at hearing Billy's hellfire-and-brimstone message at a 1924 Charlotte, North Carolina, crusade.
His name was Billy Graham."

What a neat book! It's a Heroes of the Faith book and especially for young people, so is easy - and VERY FASCINATING - reading! Read it, you'll love it!
