Summary:The greatest of the tent and tabernacle revivalists, preaching to over 100 million people from 1908 to 1920, Billy Sunday stands as one of the most significant mass evangelists of this century. In the first full-length biography of Sunday in thirty years, Lyle Dorsett makes a fresh and original contribution to our understanding of this pugnacious baseball player-turned-preacher with his use of the Sunday family papers, a source previously unavailable to biographers. - Back cover.
