Synopsis

Dwight L. Moody’s remarkable life, from a Northfield boy to a global evangelist, unfolds through the people, places, and programs that shaped his mission.

This biography traces the energies, faith, and practical ministry that defined Moody’s work, from his mother’s steadfast influence to the creation of enduring institutions like Mount Hermon and the Chicago Bible Institute. Rich with episodes and context, it presents a portrait of a man whose drive to spread the gospel matched his love for training others to do the same.

Interwoven with family history, early struggles, and bold ventures, the book covers Moody’s rise alongside the institutions he built to educate and empower Christian workers. It highlights key collaborations, such as his partnership with Ira D. Sankey, and shows how his approach combined personal devotion with organized, scalable outreach that reached across cities and continents.

• How Moody combined personal faith with practical organization to extend his reach.
• The creation and growth of the Mount Hermon school system and the Northfield conferences.
• The founding of the Chicago Bible Institute and its mission to train workers for city evangelism.
• Stories of campaigns, partnerships, and the enduring impact of his ministry.

Ideal for readers of religious biographies and those curious about 19th‑century evangelism, church history, and the life of a tireless pastor-teacher who shaped modern evangelical outreach.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Introduction THE preparation of my Father sbiography has been undertaken as a sacred trust. Early in the spring of 1894 he was asked by an old friend for permission to issue a biography with his approval. This my Father declined to do, and, on that occasion, expressed the wish that I should assume the task when his life-work was ended. In reply to my objection that such an undertaking demanded a literary experience that I did not possess, he said: I dont care anything about that. What I want is that you should correct inaccuracies and misstatements that it would be difficult to straighten out during my life. You are the one to do this. All my friends will unite on you and give you their assistance. There are many who think they know me better than any one else, and would feel themselves best able to interpret my life. If you do not do this work there will be many inaccurate and conflicting Lives. Whatever diffidence I have felt in executing this trust, it has been undertaken as a filial duty and esteemed to be a great privilege. It would have been my choice to have had more leisure for accomplishing the work, but the announcement of unauthorized biographies has necessitated the immediate publication of the present volume. Otherwise the desire of my Father would have been thwarted. At a later date it is intended that a more studied interpretation of his life should be prepared to meet the expressed desire for a fuller account of his career.
