Biographies...Good Ones!

[1Timothy115]

I'm looking for some good biographies of great (1) Baptist Men of God or (2) from the denominations before they went liberal.

Time period...1790s-1930s. I don't want anything from the modern era.

Name of author and book title would be great! If you have a link it would be greatly appreciated.

Biographies of people I think I would enjoy reading…

John Calvin
Dwight L Moody
Charles G Finney
William Sunday
C.H. Spurgeon
Noah Webster
John Bunyan

Thanks

Those, and a lot more. One really good one is John Jasper, a negro slave preacher, written in his own dialect; and Peter Cartwright a Methodist circuit-riding preacher that used to get off his horse and fight at the drop of a hat.

The Life and Diary of David Brainerd by Jonathan Edwards

You might want to check out Reese Chronological Encyclopedia of Christian Biographies by Edward Reese. I know a lot of the brethren don't like this book because of some of the folks included in it but I would still highly recommend it. It's a good starting point if you want to delve into someone's life more thoroughly.
