Informative Autobiography of Large Baptist Church

Fine story of how God called and used this man to pastor one of America's largest churches -- First Baptist in Dallas.Having lived there and hearing much of what this church and fine man of God were about, this is certainly an informative look at a man of God who believes God's Word and stood up for it in the face of odds against, e.g. everyone else was fleeing the inner city for the suburbs, not Criswell and First Baptist. Certainly motivational for Christians of all persuasions to stand firm on God's promises, which have there yes, there amen, in Christ crucified.

Greatest Book Next to the Bible

Read a moving book about a man who tenaciously stood in the face of liberal theology and upheld the Bible as God's inerrant Word. He has been called the greatest American Pastor of the twentieth century, and I whole-heartedly agree. I was a young Christian when I read this book, and it propelled my spiritual growth and inspired me to hunger for the presence and power of God in my life. I highly recommend it to anyone searching for answers about how God can touch and use a life to do great things.
