    About this audiobook

    He burst upon the fusty corridors of Victorian spirituality like a breath of fresh air, regaling one prime minister with his sense of humor and touching the lives of seven presidents.

    Who was this man? A visionary educator and fundraiser, D.L. Moody was also a renowned evangelist in the nineteenth century. Long before radio and television, he brought the transformative message of the gospel before 100 million people on both sides of the Atlantic. Thousands of underprivileged young people were educated in schools he established, and before the Civil War, he went to a place no one else would; the slums of Chicago called Little Hell. The mission he started in an abandoned saloon drew children by the hundreds, and prompted a visit from President-elect Abraham Lincoln in 1860.

    Drawing on the best, most recent scholarship, D.L. Moody - A Life chronicles the incredible journey of one of the great souls of history.

      Incredibly written, incredibly read, about an incredible man. A man who sought to be fully consecrated to God.
    • 2/5
      I began thinking that the details of this book were somewhat familiar, but just chalked it up to knowing a little about DL Moody already. On concluding this lengthy biography, I noticed that I had read another book about DL Moody by the same author just last year....hmmm, that must be what happens when you read too many books!

      I wasn't a big fan of this biography--It is too full of praise for Moody and there are insufficient details of his weaknesses and failures. It does give a good overview of his life and ministry and some of his character can be ascertained. However, there was little about his wife and children. There were too many technical details about places and sources contained within the narrative which resulted in an interrupted flow. I would have preferred to have learned more detail about some of the events and incidents rather than reading a vague overview of everything.

      I was surprised to learn of Moody's ecumenical focus--he even went as far as stating that Catholics and Evangelicals are on the same path. He refused to debate the finer points of Scripture preferring to stick to the Gospel--I can see both sides of this argument.

      I would recommend the shorter book that the author has written about Moody for those interested in learning about his life and ministry rather than this one. I struggled to really remain interested in this and nearly gave up on it. Academics/scholars might enjoy it or those with a special interest in the subject...
