Summary

"Men of the Bible" by Dwight Lyman Moody is a book that examines the lives of important people from the Bible, concentrating on their trust in God, the problems they faced, and how they gave their lives to God. It teaches valuable lessons about believing in God, following His rules, and giving up control, using stories from the Bible about famous people like Abraham and Moses. The beginning of the book uses Abraham's life to show how important it is to surrender to God, which sets the stage for the rest of the discussions. Moody talks about Abraham's decision to leave his home and his willingness to trust God's promises, pointing out important moments such as when Abraham left Haran and his experiences in Canaan. The work focuses on the need to obey God completely, suggesting that real faith means giving up our own wishes and plans and it uses interesting stories to show how Abraham's acts of surrender changed his life and teaches important lessons for people today.

About the Author

Dwight Lyman Moody, also known as D. L. Moody, was an American evangelist and publisher connected with Keswickianism, who founded the Moody Church, Northfield School and Mount Hermon School in Massachusetts, Moody Bible Institute, and Moody Publishers. One of his most famous quotes was "Faith makes all things possible... Love makes all things easy." Moody gave up his lucrative boot and shoe business to devote his life to revivalism, working first in the Civil War with Union troops through YMCA in the United States Christian Commission. In Chicago, he built one of the major evangelical centers in the nation, which is still active. Working with singer Ira Sankey, he toured the country and the British Isles, drawing large crowds with a dynamic speaking style.
