The Wartime Sermons of Dr. Peter Marshall

Résumé du livre

Scottish-born Dr. Peter Marshall immigrated to America in 1927. During the next twenty-two years, before his untimely death in 1949 at the age of forty-six, he became one of the nations most famous preachers, pastor of Washington, D.C's historic New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, and Chaplain of the U.S. Senate. His wife, author Catherine Marshall, wrote his best-selling biography, A Man Called Peter, which was subsequently made into the much heralded 1955 movie. The Wartime Sermons of Dr. Peter Marshall includes many of his most sought-after messages delivered during World War II. Today, as we continue to face a war against global terrorism during the aftermath of Spetember 11, 2001, these wartime sermons, preached more than fifty years ago, have never been more timely, appropriate, or desperately needed. This dynamic book of sermons and prayers should be kept nearby during these challenging times.
