$20,000 in 1900 was the equivalent of about $600,000 today. Any man who was prepared to make such a large personal financial investment in bringing God's Holy Word to the UnSaved is certainly worth reading. I have downloaded the book and will be giving it to my older boys (the over-8s) as an exercise in literary criticism.
