History Makers: F.B. Meyer (Historymakers Series)

Bob Holman

Paperback 2007-09-05

Publisher Description

On F.B. Meyer's death in 1929, obituaries in the secular press were clear that he was a key player on the world scene ? yet this is the first chronological account of his life. F.B. Meyer was the minister of one of Britain's first ?mega-churches?. Coming from a conventional, middle class Victorian background he experienced no dramatic conversion. He was not a distinguished scholar and not a dramatic orator. His slight figure and retiring manner meant that he did not stand out in a crowd. Yet he drew crowds by the thousands, wrote books which sold by the millions, and attracted working class people. The range of Meyer's activities are astonishing: preacher, pastor, writer, social activist, Baptist president, advocate for missionary work and more.
