2) “D.L. Moody” – Faith Coxe Bailey, Paperback, 158 pgs.
D.L. Moody’s reaction was quick and to the point. “No! A thousand times, no! I have no intentions of standing off here in New York City and approving something I know so little about. But I’ll think it over, Emeline. Then one of these days, I’ll come out to Chicago and we can talk some more about it.”
Moody’s inital reaction to that “something” was to change through God’s leading. That “something” is now the world-renowned Moody Bible Institute, which trains hundreds of men and women each year to understand and use the Scriptures.
D.L. Moody dared to take up a challenge and see what God could do with a life totally committed to Him. Here is the story of the greatest American evangelist of the 1800s and the founder of the Moody Bible Institute.

At an agreed-upon time, their five young wives sat by their radios, waiting for a message that never came…
