Moving Mountains: Lessons in Bold Faith from Great Evangelical Leaders
In the Epilogue, Dr King admits he gives only a small sampling of great Evangelical leaders of faith. He even lists several further suggestions. Although King’s selections commendably include diversity across denominational, gender, and some geographical lines, cultural and racial diversity is lacking. He mentions Chinese preacher and writer Watchman Nee but there is no Evangelical representation from the East. Neither is there African American or Hispanic representation. A study of someone like William J. Seymour would have strengthened the work. Certainly, his dynamic but humble leadership of the Azusa Street Mission and Revival was a living laboratory of faith principles in action.
As stated, Paul King’s Moving Mountains is more than ordinary hagiography. I recommend it for its potential to be not only informative but also transformative—at least for those who read it in faith!
