On F.B. Meyer?'s death in 1929, obituaries in the secular press were clear that he was a key player on the world scene yet this is the first chronological account of his life. F.B. Meyer was the minister of one of Britain?'s first mega-churches . Coming from a conventional, middle class Victorian background he experienced no dramatic conversion.
