This review is from: William and Catherine Booth: Founders of the Salvation Army (Heroes of the Faith (Barbour Paperback)) (Paperback)

I was pleased at the way this book chronicles the lives of William and Catherine Booth. What a pair! I mean this man had a very hard life and basically was an indentured servant during his apprenticeship. They both new the meaning of self sacrifice and being our brother's keeper. What an awesome couple. Definitely read this one. It will give you a new perspective on your own life.

A very interesting historical book about the family that started The Salvation Army Corp in England. I have supported The Salvation Army for several years and it was good to read how it came about.
