About the Author

Dwight Lyman Moody

Dwight Lyman Moody (1837-1899) was a prominent American evangelist and publisher known for his influential role in the revivalist movement of the late 19th century. He founded the Moody Church in Chicago and established the Moody Bible Institute, which continues to educate and train Christian leaders today. Moody's works often focus on practical Christian living and biblical teachings, with notable titles such as "Bible Characters" and "Men of the Bible." His engaging anecdotes and illustrations, as seen in "Moody's Anecdotes and Illustrations," have made his sermons accessible and impactful, contributing significantly to evangelical literature.
