After William Booth and Catherine Mumford found God, He led them to each other. Sharing a passion for the glory of the Lord and for the rescue of desperate, destitute people, together the Booths gave their lives to deliver the good news of salvation and to spiritually and physically uplift those in need. William and Catherine Booth joined innovation to tradition in preaching "the power of the blood of Christ and the fire of the Holy Spirit." Even while threatened, slandered, and attacked, they selflessly sacrificed in order that injustice might be exposed and evil brought into the light. What began in England gradually spread throughout the world. This highly readable biography demonstrates what God has accomplished with The Salvation Army through the faithfulness of the Booths, their children, and multitudes of others called to serve.
