The Personal Touch

Every boy in the Sunday School class stands to confess Christ—except J. Wilbur Chapman. Then his teacher, tears in her eyes, slips a hand beneath his elbow and gently lifts.

In early twentieth-century America, evangelist J. Wilbur Chapman looks back to the people whose faith shaped his own: a devout mother, a steady father, a Sunday School teacher, and D. L. Moody. As a boy, Chapman hesitates to make a public confession; years later, as a student, he wrestles with whether he is truly saved. Their quiet, personal interventions leave him convinced that preaching alone cannot reach every searching heart—and that one compassionate word may help someone out of doubt and into faith. Who around you might be waiting for that personal touch?
