Jack Shuler had certain techniques to attract crowds of people.
"It was a time when evangelistic meetings proliferated. In fact evangelistic preaching had been spreading since the early 1940s. You could blame it on the times, especially the post-war days, if you wanted to. The threat of nuclear destruction made many nervous about the future. And the prosperity without purpose left some people with an empty feeling. This may have had something to do with the rise in popularity of traveling evangelists. There was a third ingredient that helped make evangelists popular - a rising problem with what professionals called “juvenile delinquency”. A number of teens were forming street gangs and roaming the streets – something new then... Because of these problems some conservative Christians thought something needed to be done, and fast." |
Great book,good author, lots of research done!

Tom S. Coke writes in a powerful way, his facts and attention to detail are well done! Sharing his knowledge and research of one of America’s most dramatic evangelists in the 1950s is fascinating. Jack Shuler’s life, his rise and techniques for drawing a crowd, and his passion for sharing Christ with others is exciting to read! Having worked with Billy Graham’s website and GotQuestions, as well as other previously published evangelical works, Tom S. Coke’s background is impressive. You know the research is there to back up the text! A must read!.
