Bush Aglow: The Story of Dwight Lyman Moody

The author finds in the ever fascinating life of Moody "a divine apologetic" that puts hope into "our one-talent lives." The life of the "commoner of Northfield" proves that endowment and advantage are, in God's sight, "small as the dust of the balance," and that God can do great things "with and for and through and in and by the man who is fully and wholly consecrated to Him." This biography of Moody was first published in 1936 to mark the centennial of his birth in 1837. The author was the first of Moody's biographers to use the Washburne Collection of memorabilia from the evangelist's life, a collection that is now part of Moody Bible Institute's holdings.
