Billy Sunday rose from an Iowa farm and an orphanage to play professional baseball, was converted outside a Chicago mission, and became the most famous revivalist in America. Ellis tells his story sympathetically, describes the tabernacle campaigns and their methods, and fills the second half with Sunday’s own slangy, combative sermons on drink, courtship, the home and salvation.
