About the author

Dwight Lyman Moody was a predominant evangelist, author, and publisher. Raised on a farm in Massachusetts, he moved first to Boston, where he converted to evangelical Christianity in 1856, and then to Chicago, where he prospered in business. He gave up business in 1860 and engaged in missionary work with the YMCA (1861-73).

He founded Moody Church and preached in the slums, emphasizing literal interpretation of the Bible and the need to prepare for the Second Coming. In 1870 he teamed up with the hymn writer Ira D. Sankey (1840-1908), and they began a series of highly popular revival tours in Britain and the U.S. Moody founded the Northfield School (1879), the Mount Hermon School (1881), and the Chicago Bible Institute (1889; now the Moody Bible Institute).

His Minister’s Bible

His Minister's Bible If I have a right to cut out a certain portion of the Bible, I don't know why one of my friends has not a right to cut out another, and another friend to cut out another part, and so on. You would have a queer kind of Bible if everybody cut out what he wanted to! Every adulterer would cut out everything about adultery; every liar would cut out everything about lying; every drunkard would be cutting out what he didn't like. Once a gentleman took his Bible around to his minister, and said, "That is your Bible." "Why do you call it my Bible?" said the minister. "Well," replied the gentleman, "I have been sitting under your preaching for five years, and when you said that a thing in the Bible was not authentic, I cut it out." He had about a third of the Bible cut out; all of Job, all of Ecclesiastes and Revelation, and a good deal besides. The minister wanted him to leave the Bible with him; he didn't want the rest of his congregation to see it. But the man said: "Oh, no! I have the covers left, and I will hold on to them." And off he went holding on to the covers.

Earthy [in a good way], understandable and powerful. Moody was a gifted speaker and writer without much formal education but well-read, well-reasoned and most of all- well-used of God. Without agreeing with everything he says and can say it was a great blessing and help to read this book and I look forward to meeting the author.

Moody demonstrates his rare ability to make the Bible practical. The reader must remember this book's the late nineteenth century compilation uses a different vocabulary. Many words and phrases used by Moody and his contemporaries have been stolen by the Charismatic Movement, and given new, exclusive meaning. Here is an example that would raise flags of caution among today's evangelical Christians:
When a man is filled with the Word of God you cannot keep him still. If man has got the Word, he must speak or die.
While a misinformed reader might understand this as personal revelation from God, Moody included this statement in the chapter "Bible Study." Being filled with the Word of God means to have a extensive, practical knowledge of the Holy Bible.
Taking this into account should allow the reader to also enjoy the hymns of Moody's cohorts, such as Ira Sankey and Philip P. Bliss., with less reservation.

We must trust God in times of trouble and in times of bereavement.
