"He that overcometh shall inherit all things." — Dwight L. Moody

One could scarcely find a Christian today who has never heard of the name D.L. Moody. The passion of this eminent 19th-century American evangelist was to preach the gospel with humility, simplicity, and power to a lost and dying world—leading sinners to the Savior and equipping them as His disciples.

Moody penned one of his finest works, The Overcoming Life, in 1896 to encourage believers in the daily struggle of Christian warfare. Moody's simple, practical, and anecdotal style is engaging and easily understood by all readers. "The world, the flesh, and the devil are too much for any man," Moody writes. "But if we are linked to Christ by faith, and He has formed in us the hope of glory, then we shall get the victory over every enemy... Through Christ we shall be more than conquerors."

This Pure Gold Classic includes The Way to God, a short book Moody wrote in 1884. In this companion work, he lovingly instructs Christians on how to draw nearer to God, through the love of Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit. He also gives some warnings against backsliding.

Dwight Lyman Moody (1837-1899) started life as a successful shoe salesman but became one of the most respected evangelists of the nineteenth century. In his early years, he was known for his highly effective Sunday school ministry and his evangelistic work among soldiers during the Civil War. After Moody's church was destroyed in the Chicago fire, he received a powerful infilling of the Holy Spirit. Newly empowered, he held dynamic meetings in America and Great Britain and founded Moody Bible Institute. When he died, Moody's legacy includes three Christian schools, a Christian publishing business, and a million souls won for Christ. 

Well-known as The Evangelist of the Nineteenth Century, Dwight Lyman Moody (1837-1899) lived out his passion to preach the gospel with humility, simplicity and power to a lost and dying world—leading sinners to the Savior and equipping them as His disciples. Much of Moody's early ministry was with the youth at the YMCA. During the Civil War he served with the U.S. Christian Commission, seeing many suffering and dying men come to Christ. As a team, Moody and Ira Sankey evangelized and ministered in cities across America and in numerous European countries where revivals were born and thousands came to the faith. D. L. Moody founded the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago.
