D.L. Moody: A Life offers a compelling portrait of the extraordinary journey of one of church history’s most influential figures. Author Kevin Belmonte brings to life the remarkable story of Dwight L. Moody, a man whose legacy continues to shape the world of evangelical Christianity and beyond.

I was most moved to read about Moody’s early passions for Sunday School and youth ministry. D.L. Moody defied the limitations of his humble, uneducated beginnings to impact so many lives. Lacking formal education, he developed an unwavering commitment to spreading the message of the gospel, especially to young people and the underserved. This biography gives me a burning desire to make a difference in the lives of others.

Vision, Perseverance, and Faith

I was most interested to read how Moody’s life was profoundly shaped by the turbulent events of his time, including the American Civil War and the Great Chicago Fire. He created institutions like the Northfield Schools, which educated generations of young people, and the Moody Bible Institute, which trained countless ministers and missionaries to carry on his vision. I saw the picture of a man of remarkable versatility. Moody was more than just a preacher – he was an entrepreneur and an innovator.

Through his life’s work, Moody leaves a legacy that extends far beyond his time. D.L. Moody: A Life is a testament to the power of vision, perseverance, and faith.
