George W. Truett, a Biography
This is the story of one of the most effective and best beloved preachers in modern times. Out of the rugged mountains of North Carolina he came to start his life's work in the fertile plains of Texas. In the past fifty years he has lived for the spiritual welfare of others, won the hearts of thousands, many of them members of other creeds and races, and achieved worldwide recognition and leadership in his own church.
Thy Will be Done
Born in 1867 just west of Hayesville, North Carolina, George W. Truett grew up to be one of the outstanding Baptist preachers of the twentieth century. He moved to Whitewright, Texas, in 1889 and planned to practice law. His Baptist church in Whitewright, however, ordained him to the ministry in 1890, ignoring his vigorous protest against such action. (18971944) as the church's pastor. Best known for his advocacy of religious liberty, Truett also helped found Baylor Hospital in Dallas. Less known about Truett was his understanding of stewardship. Money meant nothing to him, and in twenty-three of his forty-seven years in Dallas, he led his church to spend more money on missions and benevolences than on its own ministries.

In the Name of God
In the Name of God tells the story of two iconic figures of national lore. George W. Truett and J. Frank Norris dominated the ecclesiology and church culture of much of the first half of the twentieth century, not only in Texas, but in the whole of America. Norris, of First Baptist Church in Fort Worth, and Truett, of First Baptist Church in Dallas, lived lives of conflict and controversy. Each led one of the largest churches in the world in the 1920s and & '30s. Each shot and killed a man, one by accident and the other in self-defense. Together, their lives were a panoply of intrigue, espionage, confrontation, manipulation, plotting, scheming, and even blackmail—in the name of God. Yet together . . . they changed the world.
Who Is Jesus?
This volume, Number VI in The Truett Memorial Series, is composed of fourteen sermons of the late Dr. George W. Truett, for forty-seven years pastor of the First Baptist Church, Dallas, Texas. These sermons all deal with the Person, the Mission and the Message of Jesus Christ — themes that were ever central in the ministry of this gospel preacher. The question asked in the title of the first sermon of this volume finds answer and abundant illustration in the fourteen sermons herein.George W. Truett will long be remembered for a number of things that characterized the man and his ministry. Supreme among these things was his firm faith that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Saviour of the world, and the one rightful Lord and Master of men. This faith gave color and character to every sermon he ever preached. That explains why the multitudes heard him gladly. Faith is the victory that overcomes the world, for people hunger for the certitudes of faith.It may be that many will be helped by looking at Jesus through the eyes of His devoted friend and follower, George W. Truett.
