A biography of a Southern Baptist minister who preached mostly in the 70s/80s. A fabulous story of a man of great faith in God...I loved the style of the book--narrative with bits of his actual sermons thrown in--SO encouraging!

This book is about my great uncle Manley Beasley. He was just as awe-inspiring in real life as Ron has shown in this biography of him. His faith in God is an amazing heritage for my family and the many people who have heard him speak.
