From the Courtrooms of Chicago to the Great Revival Pulpits of America
Born in Mogilev, Russia, to an Orthodox Jewish family, Hyman J. Appelman arrived in America knowing six languages-but not a single word of English. Driven by ferocious intellect and ambition, he mastered eight grades of schooling in two years, swept through law school, and quickly established himself as a brilliant young trial attorney in Chicago.
He had prestige, wealth, and a bright legal career ahead of him. Then an unexpected spiritual crisis brought his world to a halt.
In this gripping, firsthand autobiography, Dr. Appelman recounts the remarkable journey of a Russian-Jewish immigrant whose encounter with the New Testament cost him everything-and gave him an eternal mission.
When Appelman surrendered his life to Jesus Christ, the backlash was swift and severe. Disowned by his beloved family, abandoned by his fiancé, and cast out of the circles he had fought so hard to enter, he walked away from legal acclaim to answer the call of the Gospel.
Through military service, seminary struggles, and relentless devotion, God forged the former lawyer into one of the twentieth century's most electrifying evangelists. Appelman's razor-sharp legal mind, deep grasp of Scripture, and burning passion for lost souls drew thousands to faith across city-wide crusades worldwide, directly inspiring a generation of preachers-including a young Billy Graham.
Inside this powerful autobiography, you will discover:
An Immigrant's Grit: How a young boy from Belarus overcame language and cultural barriers to conquer Chicago's legal arena.
The Cost of Discipleship: The painful price of familial rejection and the courage required to stand firm for Christ against impossible odds.
A Trial Lawyer's Defense of the Faith: How legal training sharpened his fiery, uncompromising evangelistic messages.
Eyewitness Revival History: Behind-the-scenes accounts of Holy Spirit power in mass crusades across the United States and abroad.
The Life Story of Dr. Hyman J. Appelman is an unforgettable testimony of divine intervention, radical surrender, and the unstoppable power of the Gospel to transform an adversary into an apostle.
Rediscover the faith-building testimony of one of modern church history's most fearless soul-winners.
