Book Description

Publication Date: January 1980

M. F. Morris in his biography of Daniels titled The Million Soul Man, says that as a young preacher Daniels was a "skinny blond tornado." Daniels served as pastor of four churches in Florida and one in Alabama before going into full time evangelism in 1947. He served as pastor of Broadway Baptist Church, Tampa (1930-1933), First Baptist Church, Eagle Lake (1933-1936), First Baptist Church, Winter Garden (1936-1942), First Baptist Church, Fort Pierce (1942-1943), and First Baptist Church of Fairfield, Ala., (1943-1947). Daniels then served as a Southern Baptist evangelist for 40 years. E. J. Daniels was a preacher, pastor, evangelist, organizer, printer, writer, publisher, and leader. He wrote numerous tracts and small books that were packed with biblical theology, humor, and common sense. He loved photography and church and commercial designing. He became wealthy in the printing business and gave away tens of thousands of dollars to spread the Gospel. In 1980, Daniels was facing open heart surgery and he asked the Lord for ?a million souls.? He had preached for years in America, Korea, Africa, and India, but had never kept decision records. From 1980-1985 there were 1, 049,000 recorded decisions for Christ in the Christ for The World Crusade. Daniels and his wife, Elizabeth gave $1.7 million at one time for crusade work from their publishing fortune. Before his death E. J. was asked what he thought was the most rewarding aspect of his years of ministry. He said, "winning souls."
