OSWALD J. SMITH

A Life Given for the Souls of Men

By: Michael Yeager

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

He was rejected by every mission board. No church would call him. He couldn't even usher at a revival meeting. He preached his finest sermon at a rescue mission and received five dollars. His family nearly starved.

Then God used him to shake the world.

Oswald J. Smith founded one of the greatest missionary churches in history, sent five hundred missionaries to the nations, circled the globe twenty-one times, wrote over 1,200 hymns, authored thirty-five books, and pioneered the faith promise movement that revolutionized how churches fund world evangelization. Billy Graham called him "the most remarkable man I have ever met."
This is his story — told in his own words. Raw. Unflinching. Fire-breathed.

From a railway station in rural Ontario to the pulpits of seventy countries, from the long grass of Africa where he collapsed to the Solomon Islands where malaria nearly killed him, from the back row of Massey Hall where he wept to the platform of Spurgeon's Tabernacle where he preached — this is the story of a man God broke before He could use, and then used to touch the nations of the earth.

"Why should anyone hear the gospel twice before everyone has heard it once?"
Read it. And then decide what you will do with your life.
