About the Author

Dwight Lyman Moody was a predominant evangelist, author, and publisher. Raised on a farm in Massachusetts, he moved first to Boston, where he converted to evangelical Christianity in 1856, and then to Chicago, where he prospered in business. He gave up business in 1860 and engaged in missionary work with the YMCA.

He founded Moody Church and preached in the slums, emphasizing literal interpretation of the Bible and the need to prepare for the Second Coming.

In 1870 he teamed up with the hymn writer Ira D. Sankey (18401908), and they began a series of highly popular revival tours in Britain and the U.S. Moody founded the Northfield School (1879), the Mount Hermon School (1881), and the Chicago Bible Institute (1889; now the Moody Bible Institute).

5.0 out of 5 stars What a Blessing to be reminded of God's great love,
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2021
Verified Purchase
The book was easy reading. He categories it in sections. It reminded me of all I've learned and known yet put aside in hard times when I should be using such promises as "I will". I would recommend this book. Maybe you just need a little reminder like I did. Maybe God needs to tell you something. If nothing else, maybe you just need to spend time in God's word. It's never a waste of time. I pray you enjoy it as much as I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Overcoming Life is a practical, no BS, easy to read classic that provides inspiration on living a fulfilling Christian life.

A wonderful work that is so deep and practical, yet so easy to read. This is the third copy I've purchased (The Overcoming Life). One of the most inspiring, encouraging, practical books I've owned on the Christian Life. If you find yourself getting discouraged, pick this up. It will clarify many of your challenges and will also kick you in the ass in the best way possible.

The book was a quick read and its straight forward presentation allowed me to run at half-throttle while consuming as much of the material as possible. I read it three times just to say hello and read it twice more because it was so hospitable and inviting to the eager mind and the discerning heart. It is definitely a classic in every sense.

Moody does an outstanding job of describing potentially difficult principles in an accessible way. I particularly enjoyed the "I will" chapter that encourages readers with Christ's Gospel promises. Short, practical, and accessible to the everyday Christian everyday. Towards the end I found delight reading a chapter per day as a morning devotional.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Overcoming Life and Other Sermons by Dwight Lyman Moody
Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2017
Verified Purchase
Such an uplifting read. D.L. Moody's writings are the most touching, plainly spoken God inspired I've read. Like John Bunyan, these men were of high rank in honesty and their faithful walk with Jesus. Pursuing the world for lost souls, humbly yet profoundly! Please read, if you're seeking truth spoken.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Old-Fashioned Bible Teaching
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 15, 2013

Moody, as always, brings us back to the basics of Bible teaching. Preaching in the old-fashioned style (naturally as it was his era) from which the reader can only benefit. Well worth the purchase.
