Synopsis

A steadfast preacher travels deep into Kentucky’s mountains to share faith, plant churches, and lift tired communities.

The book offers a firsthand look at years of evangelism, church planting, and personal devotion in Breathitt and surrounding hills. The narrative follows long campaigns in rough country, daily preaching, and the challenges and triumphs of reaching people who live far from town. Through candid stories of tents, meetings, and a steadfast hope, readers glimpse a life spent inviting others to belong to a faith that endures in difficult places.

What you’ll experience:

• Accounts of large, sustained gatherings held in rough mountain settings
• Conversions, baptisms, and the forming of new churches in hard-to-reach areas
• Dedication to mission work, including coordinating with local congregations and volunteers
• Reflective moments on faith, service, and the needs of communities in rural Kentucky

Ideal for readers drawn to memoirs of faith, mission work, and religious life in American frontier regions.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The gladdest tidings that ever eame to this lost world was the Evangel. The most welcome messenger to every human heart is the Evangelist who brings this good news. To help him tell it to all people is the sole object of this little book. The angel who brought the message to the shepherds on Judea shills has thousands of humble and faithful followers, who sometimes need help. That God will bless this humble effort in so holy a ministry is my prayer. Neither the praise or blame of the book is altogether my own. I cheerfully divide it with my friends. Some good (and, I trust, wise) men, in whose judgment I have confidence, repeatedly urged its preparation. From the beginning of my ministry I have felt the want of some such volume and found none. I found books about evangelistic work, its needs, its importance, its greatness, its urgency, but none that told me how to do it. This is what I wanted. I had to go and learn it myself. How well I learned it this book will discover. It has been written in the saddle, during the breathingspells of an active ministry. I ts preparation has extended over several years and over nearly every Southern State, writing as I had opportunity. It is almost entirely the result of my own experience in preaching the Gospel to all kinds of people, in all kinds of places. To it are added some field notes to illustrate the application of the rules taught by experience.

Excerpt from The Soul Winner

The gladdest tidings that ever came to this lost world was the Evangel. The most welcome messenger to every human heart is the Evangelist who brings this good news. To help him tell it to all people is the sole object of this little book.

The angel who brought the message to the shepherds on Judea's hills has thousands of humble and faithful followers, who sometimes need help. That God will bless this humble effort in so holy a ministry is my prayer.

Neither the praise or blame of the book is altogether my own. I cheerfully divide it with my friends. Some good (and, I trust, wise) men, in whose judgment I have confidence, repeatedly urged its preparation.

From the beginning of my ministry I have felt the want of some such volume and found none. I found books about evangelistic work, its needs, its importance, its greatness, its urgency, but none that told me how to do it. This is what I wanted. I had to go and learn it myself. How well I learned it this book will discover.

It has been written "in the saddle," during the breathing-spells of an active ministry. Its preparation has extended over several years and over nearly every Southern State, writing as I had opportunity. It is almost entirely the result of my own experience in preaching the Gospel to all kinds of people, in all kinds of places.

To it are added some "field notes" to illustrate the application of the rules taught by experience.
