Written with power and boldness, this adventure-packed autobiography of one of the world's greatest preachers, testifies of a fearless man’s obedience to the Spirit of God. Few evangelists have seen as much of the world as Lester Sumrall witnessed — and witnessed to.
When he died in 1996, Lester Sumrall had spent 65 years serving the Lord, and this thoroughly entertaining biography examines the life of one of the most colorful preachers of the 20th century.
Tracing his rise as a fiery young preacher during the depression, to his global ministry aimed at wiping out hunger in third world countries, The Life Story of Lester Sumrall inspires as well as it teaches. A man who threw himself at the feet of Jesus Christ, Sumrall possessed a zealousness and long-term commitment that still amazes even those who knew him For sheer entertainment, he was hard to beat.
The Man of a Thousand Stories and the quick smile also stored up spiritual power from the Lord. A leader and statesman, Lester Sumrall was a giant in Pentecostal circles but never saw himself that way, preferring to steamroll through projects God had for him. From his hilarious beginnings as a teenage preacher staring at a roomful of bemused farmers, to his final work as director of the global outreach FEED THE HUNGRY, Lester Sumrall lived with no regrets. This look at his life is by turns funny, poignant, and inspiring.
In this day of denominational partnership, which Lester Sumrall would no doubt have loved, Christians of all backgrounds will enjoy the passion and power of a most remarkable life. Lester Sumrall passed away in 1996, but not before preparing the ministry for the event. He worked to the last to feed souls and bodies, the passions of his extraordinary life.
