Wed, Aug 13 – Horrified by the poverty and suffering in industrial England, William Booth dedicated his life to bringing the gospel to the outcasts of society who wouldn’t enter a church and weren’t welcome there. Founder of the Salvation Army, he faced resistance from the church, lack of financial support, and vicious attacks by angry mobs as he sought to spread the light of the gospel through the streets of England. Don’t miss the beginning of the biography of William Booth Wednesday morning at 7 on Christian Heroes Then and Now.
