Man Sent From God: A Biography of Dr. John R. Rice
Man Sent From God A Biography of Dr John R Rice Author:Robert L. Sumner John Richard Rice was a Baptist evangelist and pastor and the founding editor of The Sword of the Lord, an influential fundamentalist newspaper. He was extremely frugal, there was never a hint of scandal about his personal life, and the testimonies of his six daughters were a credit to his ministry. — Sumner writes, "When I speak of D... more »r Rice, I am speaking from the basis of long and close association. I have seen him when he was relaxed and when under such pressure and burden as would seem enough to crush him. I have seen him both sick and well, when people praised him and when dear friends left him. In all of these circumstances, his life has been consistent...I have never seen him other than mild except when he had to be otherwise in order to do right. Then I have seen him as bold as a lion, strong as steel, unmoved as a mountain in defending Christ and the Bible or when influences were at work trying to turn him from a course he was convinced was right. Yet I have never known a person with a greater capacity for loving people." « less
