John Charles Pollock (1924–2012)

Biography of Billy Graham - American evangelist, a prominent evangelical Christian figure, and an ordained Southern Baptist minister who became well known internationally.

Paul is someone I've spent time on and off studying. His writing to Timothy is something I've always wanted to understand more thoroughly, so a history of who Paul was became very helpful for me. Pollock does a good job of weaving history, archaeology, Biblical text, and third-hand accounts into a good overview of who Paul was and how significant his impact was on the early church.

This is a fascinating story about Dr. Nelson Bell(an American surgeon in China), his wife Virginia, and their children. Dr. Bell served many years as a medical missionary in China, practicing medicine, preaching, and raising a family under the most difficult conditions. His daughter Ruth would become the wife of evangelist Dr. Billy Graham.

It's a story about the young Hudson Taylor, the reckless, devoted, loving, crazy, humble, faithful, heroic, generous and romantic Hudson Taylor. He had a passion for Chinese people that transcended class, nationality, religious and church customs and most rational people.
