Memories from my 2007 summer reading list:
I really enjoyed the biography of one of the greatest evangelists of our time. While much of the story is triumphant, I was struck by the somber notes of family discord. The eveangelist seemed to sacrifice the spititual upbringing of his sons in favor of the spiritual conditions of the world around him. His story serves as a good encouragement to strike a healthy balance between family and ministry.

Billy Sunday is another title in the “Heroes of the Faith” series on various Christian figures over the years.
Phillips summarizes Sunday’s life, accomplishments, and death in a succinct manner and covers areas such as:
1. Early life in Iowa.
2. Being shipped off with his brother to a Soldier’s Home when their mother could no longer take care of them.
3. Major League baseball career.
4. Eventual conversion and call to go into the gospel ministry.
5. Long and happy marriage to Nell, his beloved wife.
6. Results of various crusades throughout the country.
7. Pain experienced over the waywardness of his sons.
Again, the book is a good and smooth-flowing narrative and is easy to read. Recommended for anyone who wants to know more about the life of Billy Sunday.
Read and enjoy.
