Crusade

History & Biography

“Robert Allen has captured in Crusade the same dynamic I experienced as an impressionable kid whose father taught at Billy Graham’s Northwestern Seminary in Minneapolis. Allen weaves historic record with storytelling fiction that does not hinder truth but draws the reader into the story. Notable people were being genuinely converted, and national news organizations were reporting those stories. Today’s culture needs the message of frank and fervent warning that emanated in 1949 from that tent on the corner of Washington and Hill in Los Angeles.”
