This is the first full-length treatment of mass-evangelist Billy Sunday to appear in 30 years. Lyle Dorsett makes a fresh and original contribuion to our understanding of this pugnaious baseball player-turned-preacher with his use of the Sunday family papers, a source previously unavailable to biographers.
Editorial : "Dorsett makes Billy Sunday come alive as a complex person, not a cardboard caricature. He notes the flaws, but despite all of Sunday's agonies and insecurities, Dorsett likes the man, and the result is a new awareness of the private complexity of a public celebrity."
It had real life interviews. Sorry to the author, but I really did not enjoy this story. Ultimately, we must rest where Job rests, acknowledging God's sovereignty and lordship.
Despite its ultimate failure, there is much very interesting and helpful in this book. This book is highly recommended for young artists.. According to Sowell, Marx considered labor to be "the source of wealth, and therefore of all non-labor income." (p. But the miracle - the win - is to have survived. The Dali Lama discusses early Buddhist thinkers of the Mahayana school, particularly Nagarjuna and Shantideva and I was pleased to learn something of what he had to say about specifically Buddhist thinkers. Marx wants more humane treatment for the masses (non-exploitation), and that is commendable, but he overlooks broader human vices like greed, lust for power, etc. Highly recommended.. If EMPIRE FALLS, BATTLE OF MIDWAY is representative of the series, Osprey needs to work on some sloppy researching.
