About the author: James Caughey (1810-1891) was a Methodist minister and evangelist who served the Lord in the United States, Canada, and England. He was well known for his revivals, and it was typical for many to be led to salvation under his ministry.
Born in Ireland, he and his family moved to New York while he was yet a child. He was converted at the age of 20, and began his ministry a short two years later.
He is probably best known for his revivals in England in the 1840s, where he converted many, including William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army. In addition to these meetings, he was the first 'professional' evangelists to tour Canada, and inspired D. L. Moody greatly by his preaching.
