Streams : The flow of Inspiration, from Dwight Moody to Frank Buchman

From the back cover: In the 1800s a man worked to give faith in God to underprivileged boys in a large American city.

As his effectiveness increased, he gave up his salaried position to devote himself full-time to affecting other people’s lives. Rejecting an offer of financial backing if he would set up his activities in New York City, he set sail for England. Visits to Cambridge and Oxford Universities resulted in a movement, spearheaded by youth, which circled the globe.

Forty years later, another American did all those things over again.

This narrative traces the common stream which ran through the careers of both men, picking up the subtle and fascinating ways in which the former influenced the latter.
