Dwight L. Moody was undoubtedly one of the greatest evangelists of all time and someone who saw genuine revival, at times, during his ministry. This was particularly true during his early ministry in Britain. His practical and organised approach to evangelism has served as a model for crusade evangelism down to the present day.

Although his ministry was based in Chicago, Moody travelled more than a million miles and preached to more than a 100 million people during his extraordinarily fruitful ministry.

This book, unlike some others on Moody (and there are many), does not major on his revival experiences but is valuable in its presentation of the broader life and ministry of this prince of evangelists.

Rodney (Gypsy) Smith, 1860-1947, was born in a tent, raised on a Gypsy camp, never attended a school - not even for a day! - Yet he influenced the lives of millions of people for God through his powerful preaching. He was converted in 1876 and, the next year, was invited by General William Booth to join him in evangelistic work. He served as an officer with the Salvation Army until 1882. He then began ministering as an itinerant evangelist working with a variety of organisations all over the world, but particularly in Britain and America. 'Gypsy' was a very zealous and successful evangelist whose ministry occasionally experienced revival power.
