This book is a unique perspective on 19th-century America and the life of a man whose religious fervor would lead him to become a driving force behind the YMCA. Unusually devout even from a young age, George A. Hall dedicated his life to God and became preoccupied with spreading the word of Christianity. The author focuses on Hall's early life, college years, and time as part of the US Christian Commission. We see the origins of his strong Christian values, as well as his zealous approach to sharing his beliefs. Hall's journals give us privileged access to his intimate thoughts and beliefs. His writings demonstrate the complex inner life of a pious young man on a mission, and an early example of dedicated Christian outreach and philanthropy aimed at aiding young men.
