De qué trata este libro

What would you put in your life story if your words had reached more readers than almost anyone else's? T. De Witt Talmage faced that question late in the nineteenth century. His weekly sermons ran in newspapers around the world, and he put his audience at about twenty-five million people.

This autobiography began as a gift for his children and then opened to the public. He tells it in milestones, from a toll gate family in New Jersey to pulpits in Brooklyn and Washington. He died in 1902, and his wife, Eleanor McCutcheon Collier Talmage, adds the closing chapters. You get a preacher's life and a busy American age, with humor often at his own expense.
