This is not your typical book on spiritual leadership. That's because Dwight Lyman Moody was not your typical spiritual leader. There were many reasons Moody should never have become one of the most prominent evangelists and ministers of his day. He had none of the credentials expected of spiritual leaders. He had no formal ministry training. He didn't take the tried-and-true paths to leadership that other Christian leaders head taken. And when he began serving God, he could barely read and write. Put another way, he had significant limitations-many of them.
