Biography

Twenty years with Rev. William A. Sunday gives me the right to say that I knew the real Billy Sunday, not the man publicity created but the flaming apostle of Christianity. He was too real to be pictured by any of the labels mistakenly put on him. So a friendship born of a score of years gives birth to this book. It is the attempt to suggest a true picture of his personality. His simplicity was so genuine, his utter devotion to his work so complete, and the results so far-reaching that I feel this generation should have a record of his dynamic personality from one who knew him. Such is the basis for the chapters which follow.

I wanted to see what God did with this common man who was totally yield to his Lord Jesus Christ.

What does it look like to live a life fully committed to God and his kingdom? Despite having different callings in ministry, Charles Spurgeon, George Müller, and Hudson Taylor all stand as titans of faithfulness — trusting in the sovereignty of God in the midst of affliction, hardship, and loss — and their examples of steadfast confidence in God continue to motivate and inspire God’s people, even today. The seventh book in John Piper’s popular The Swans Are Not Silent series, A Camaraderie of Confidence highlights how the amazing lives and legendary ministries of these three men continue to illustrate what it means to hold fast to the promises of God.

In his book, A Scottish Christian Heritage, Iain Murray describes how for 300 years the school of evangelical Christianity changed Scotland as a nation. Passing on the evangel of the Reformation, and growing stronger in persecution, it turned a people to the Bible, and finally gave many of its best sons and daughters to the ends of the earth. For fidelity, joyful perseverance in hardship, and improbably advance, the record remains a witness to the faith that overcomes the world.

The compelling interest of this account lies in the way it draws on contemporary records-many of these Christian leaders being authors as well as men of action. Murray’s narrative explores this rich heritage and underlines its remarkable relevance for our own day. While not a Scottish church history, this is a gripping introduction to the many glorious successes, and some of the painful failures of the church, from the days of John Knox to those of Horatius Bonar. Explaining this panoramic tapestry are the words of Knox’s own commentary, ‘God gave his Holy Spirit to simple men in great abundance’.
