Making Many Glad: The Life and

by William M. Baker

This stirring biography, Making Many Glad, tells the story of Daniel Baker, the great evangelist of the American South, largely in his own words. Baker was one of those preachers who could not resist the call to 'preach Christ where he was not named', and wherever he went it was 'in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ'. His longest stay in one pastorate amounted to just nine years, whereas he was involved in gospel ministry for almost forty years, itinerating from Pennsylvania and Ohio, through Virginia, the Carolinas, his native Georgia and around the southern states to Texas.

Citing Isaiah 52:7, Professor Douglas Kelly writes of 'There could not be a better way of characterizing the effects of the life and preaching of this great Southern evangelist…than this verse about beautiful feet hastening with glad tidings across waste places.'

Reviews

[Jonah Hill · Rating 4 out of 5]

This in an inspiring work, and will ignite (or re-ignite) a fire in all seminarians and pastors who desire a life-long, faithful ministry to Christ’s church. You need to meet and know Daniel Baker, and once you meet him through this work, you will never forget him! Excellent.
My only qualm is that BoT needs to update the cover, and provide a Hardback version.
