Rescue Shop Within a Yard of Hell, May 1 2008
By Avid One - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The General Next to God: The Story of William Booth and the Salvation Army (Paperback)
This is a well written account of the incredibly courageous, tenacious General William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army. C. T. Studd is quoted as saying ""Some want to live within the sound of church or chapel bell; I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of hell." That sums up the life of Booth. This story is inspiring, humbling and extraordinarily interesting. Booth put his faith into hands on action during a period of great social change. In doing so he inspired an army that continues his legacy today.

The General Next to God, Feb 24 2008
By Susan Wied "S. Wied" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The General Next to God: The Story of William Booth and the Salvation Army (Paperback)
Excellent Book! The Salvation Army was on the cutting edge of women's rights, social justice, awareness and action regarding human trafficing/slavery at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th. Their positive work is continued and felt all over the world today.

Five Star General!, Jun 8 2007
By Lon Waitman - Published on Amazon.com
A powerful and insightful look at the be beginnings of the Salvation Army. In the 1800's, the Army was a truly radical Christian organization (as radical as any that has existed). These amazing soldiers of the Cross donned military-like uniforms, invaded the inner cities of the world, and declared holy war on sin. And not only were they sold-out and innovative in their approach to evangelism, they also pioneered numerous social justice issues (including sex trafficing) as well.Richard Collier's book takes the reader on a journey of faith, passion and adventure that will challenge and encourage all Christians.
