Courageous Christianity by William J Federer
Did you know modern Olympics were inspired by the Muscular Christianity movement, as was the game of rugby? Were you aware basketball, volleyball, racquetball, and group swimming lessons, were invented by Y.M.C.A. trainers and used as evangelism outreach tools to bring youth to Christ around the globe? Did you know Charles Finney's preaching in the Second Great Awakening Revival is what inspired George Williams to found the Young Men's Christian Association in London in 1844. The Y.M.C.A. had a role in racial reconciliation, Black History Month, the start of The Gideons International, Father's Day, U.S.O. for military personnel, summer camps, Boy Scouts, and Toastmasters. Fun Fact: The Y.M.C.A. director in Geneva, Switzerland, started the International Red Cross and was the first recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. How did the Spirit-Mind-Body triangle become the Y.M.C.A. logo? Be inspired by evangelist D.L. Moody, abolitionist Frederick Douglass, General Douglas MacArthur, President Theodore Roosevelt, Tuskegee President Booker T. Washington, Boy Scout Founder Lord Baden Powell, and baseball player-turned-revivalist Billy Sunday. Discover daring writings of Rudyard Kipling's Captains Courageous, Horatio Alger's Rags-to-Riches stories, and Dale Carnegie's win friends and dream big. Learn about the Layman's Prayer Revival, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Athletes in Action, and the Student Volunteer Missionary Movement, whose motto was "winning the world to Christ in this generation!"
