Gypsy from the Forest A New Biography of the International Evangelist Gipsy Smith(1860-1947) David Lazell

"Born in a gypsy caravan in the Epping Forest and without a day's formal education in his life the Gipsy, as he was known, became an internationally renowned evangelist who preached to thousands - in his native Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and especially the United States where he was always warmly received. A pioneer of co-operation in evangelistic campaigns, one of the early religious broadcasters, a fine singer of gospel songs, Gipsy Smith emerges from this book as a warmly human figure whose great passion in life was to make Jesus known to others".
