Published in 1909, the autobiography of W. B. Godbey was penned at the proper time of his life. By this time, he was in his late seventies and had been preaching for upwards of sixty years. His whole life was spent in the service of God, and this book would be a great way to introduce yourself to this minister of old.
About the author:
William Baxter Godbey (1833-1920) is considered as one of the most influential evangelists in his time. He ministered salvation to thousands, and led many of those into entire sanctifiation. His ministry was marked by revival everywhere he went, and preached the Gospel for over 70 years. He travelled back and forth across the continental United States, and is said to have circled the globe in missionary work a full five times.
He wrote well over two-hundred books, (though many of them would be considered tracts or pamphlets rather than complete books) including a complete, seven-volume New Testament commentary, which paired well with his translation of the New Testament.
It is truly unfortunate that Godbey is best known today for his eccentricity rather than his contributions to the Kingdom of God. One that will quickly become evident in his use of the initials "N.B." throughout many of his books. This is short for "Nota Bene" which means, "Note Well".
Without question, this tireless worker for God is worth remembering, and prayerfully, these books will continue to be a blessing for a new generation.
