Billy Sunday: Evangelist of the Sawdust Trail (Book)
Before there was Billy Graham, there was Billy Sunday. An evangelist of great renown in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Billy Sunday (1862-1935) gained his first fame by playing major league baseball. Four years into his career with the Chicago White Sox, he met Jesus--then retired from the game four years later to enter the Christian ministry. Sunday's three hundred revivals, featuring his fiery preaching style, attracted an estimated one hundred million listeners.
