Young Man On Fire: The Story Of Torrey Johnson And Youth For Christ (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163150245)

""Young Man On Fire: The Story Of Torrey Johnson And Youth For Christ"" by Mel Larson is a biography that tells the story of Torrey Johnson, the founder of Youth For Christ. The book traces Johnson's life from his childhood in rural Minnesota to his early ministry experiences in Chicago, where he became passionate about reaching young people with the gospel message. The book describes Johnson's journey as he starts Youth For Christ in 1944, a movement that quickly grew and spread across the United States and around the world. The book also explores the challenges Johnson faced as he tried to balance his ministry with his family life, his struggles with depression, and his eventual death from cancer at the age of 51. Throughout the book, Larson weaves together personal anecdotes, historical context, and quotes from Johnson's sermons and writings to create a compelling portrait of a man who was deeply committed to sharing the love of Jesus with young people. ""Young Man On Fire"" is a powerful testament to the impact that one person can have when they are dedicated to serving God and loving others.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
