![]() ![]() All this in addition to writing books and preaching a weekly sermon to a capacity crowd. He ran bank holiday expeditions for those who otherwise would not have had a holiday. He championed the cause of neglected women and those in poverty. He was there to meet prisoners on their day of release and he set up a business in order to provide them with jobs. Meyer invested significant time, energy and money in working with and for the poor (this was in the days before the welfare state). Meyer the man was ahead of this time (contrast Meyer the author, whose style was probably dated even at the time of publication). ![]() This book is worth reading because it reveals what Meyer did from day to day: a subject Meyer chose not to write about in his many books. In his day he drew crowds by the thousands, wrote books which sold by the millions and was offered (and turned down) well paid and high profile jobs. Meyer (1847-1929) deserves to be better known. ![]()
