Complete and unabridged. Completely re-typeset in nice, readable
type by Kingsley Press. This autobiography of Gipsy Smith
(1860-1947) tells the fascinating story of how God's amazing grace
reached down into the life of a poor, uneducated gipsy boy and sent
him singing and preaching all over Britain and America until he
became a household name in many parts and influenced the lives of
millions for Christ. He was born and raised in a gipsy tent to
parents who made a living selling baskets, tinware and clothes
pegs. His father was in and out of jail for various offences, but
was gloriously converted during an evangelistic meeting. His mother
died when he was only five years old. Converted at the age of
sixteen, Gipsy taught himself to read and write and began to
practice preaching. His beautiful singing voice earned him the
nickname "the singing gipsy boy," as he sang hymns to the people he
met. At age seventeen he became an evangelist with the Christian
Mission (which became the Salvation Army) and began to attract
large crowds. Leaving the Salvation Army in 1882, he became an
itinerant evangelist working with a variety of organizations. It is
said that he never had a meeting without conversions. He was a born
orator. One of the Boston papers described him as "the greatest of
his kind on earth, a spiritual phenomenon, an intellectual prodigy
and a musical and oratorical paragon." His autobiography is full of
anedotes and stories from his preaching experiences in many
different places. It's a book you won't want to put down until
you're finished
