A Decent, Compact Look at Billy Sunday's Entire Life and Career as a Famous Preacher

This book is a good introduction to the life of Billy Sunday. You can then decide if you want to read more about him or if you have learned enough about him. This is a book written for teens, it is somewhat brief and to the point, not going too far in-depth, with a drawing to open each chapter. I learned a lot about Billy Sunday's life and career, from his Civil War father whom Billy never met, to his mother giving up Billy and his brother to a soldier's orphanage, to Billy getting discovered and recruited into professional baseball, to Billy getting Saved and becoming the most famous preacher of his era. The book is a relatively quick read. Too long to read in one sitting, but easy to finish in a week's worth of reading sessions. A much better book for those who love much longer reads would be "Billy Sunday: 1862-1935. The Life and Works of the Baseball Evangelist," by Elijah P. Brown. Billy Sunday: The Life and Work of the Baseball Evangelist (Ambassador Classic Biography Series)

This book is a HOME RUN in itself

Wonderful Story about a most wonderful preacher. He was truely an amazing man. An easy read but one that is really difficult to lay down until you are finished. I enjoyed it very much. George Erdel
