William Sunday was born in 1862 in Ames, Iowa, USA, destined to become on the greatest preachers of all time. It is said that the Lord called him while a baseball star to the Gospel ministry. To say that he was a colorful evangelist is to say the least; in this aspect, he could be compared to China's dramatic preacher John Sung. B Sunday received huge exposure on the media for all his campaigns. He used colorful, slangy language, tailored his messages with mimicry and impersonations and memorable epigrams and anecdotes. Apart from some eccentricities he was a no-nonsence Gospel preacher standing on the Rock of salvation alone through the blood shed of Christ. He stood for the reliability of the Bible. He died in 1935.
