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.
