Edward McKendree Bounds (1835–1913) is known for writing eleven books, nine of which focused on the subject of prayer, including E. M. Bounds on Prayer,  Essentials of Prayer, Necessity of Prayer, and Power Through Prayer. Charles G. Finney (1792–1875) was the most noteworthy revivalist of the nineteenth century and one of the leaders of the Second Great Awakening; over 250,000 people were converted as a result of his preaching. Dwight Lyman Moody (1837–1899) was one of the most respected evangelists of the nineteenth century who left a rich legacy of three Christian schools, a Christian publishing business, and a million souls won for Christ. George Müller (1805–1898) was used in remarkable ways to provide for more than ten thousand orphans. In 1875, he began preaching tours that took him over 200,000 miles to forty-two countries to preach to three million people.  Andrew Murray (1828–1917) was an amazingly prolific Christian devotional writer. Through books such as Abide in Christ, Murray became widely known, and his books were awaited with great eagerness throughout the world. Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834–1892), the “Prince of Preachers,” preached to an estimated ten million people. He published over two thousand sermons, as well as numerous books, which compose the largest collection of work by a single author. Reuben Archer Torrey (1856–1928) was one of the greatest evangelists of the twentieth century. From 1903 to 1905, Dr. Torrey traveled the world in revival campaigns, winning thousands of souls to Jesus Christ, and he continued worldwide crusades for the next fifteen years.
