This is a popular biography of the great Billy Sunday--baseballer-turned- evangelist whose colorful, energetic, fearless preaching brought perhaps 300,000 to faith in Christ.

It's been a long time since I read anything about Billy Sunday or the sort of preacher he was. This was a great book that showed his unique approach to evangelism, and a bit about his strong character. It also includes excerpts from his sermons so you can get to know some about him in his own words.
My favorite thing was learning about how he insisted on the town being literally covered in prayer by the local Christians before he came to town. What a way to be sure people were ready to hear the Word...plus it was great to see how seriously some took that request, with thousands having daily prayer for weeks and months!
