Billy’s mother shed many tears as Billy and his older brother, Ed, boarded the train to the Soldiers’ Orphans’ Home. Their father had died in the Civil War and their mother could no longer provide for them. What would happen to them? Well, what happened is quite a story—one that includes major league baseball, a letter from President Theodore Roosevelt, and God’s miraculous work! At Billy’s death in 1935, he had preached to over one million people! The story of the great evangelist, especially his boyhood, is brought to life in this fascinating biography by Elaine Cunningham.
The Home school Language Arts 6 Curriculum/Lesson Plans recommends that sixth graders read Billy Sunday for their first long-form book report. 106 pages. Gr. 6.
