"This book may give you the best opportunity of deciding the truth about me and the ministry I hold so dear." -- Oral Roberts "Among several biographies of Oral Roberts, the most recent, most accurate, and best documented is Oral Roberts: An American Life, an objective, impressive study...

Roberts' first scholarly biographer has done a beautiful job." -- Allen Boyer, Newsday
In 1946, God gave Oral Roberts a new Buick. And this just one of many miracles the young, broke preacher learned to expect, as Oral Roberts would go on to build an evangelistic ministry worth millions of dollars, a medical complex, and a university. How do we interpret the life of a man who seemed to combine rampant consumerist excess with a sincere devotion to the gospel?

First published in 1952, this is the autobiography of Oral Roberts, founder and chancellor of the Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and recognized as one of the outstanding personalities of his generation. He was the author of more than one hundred books and founder of the Oral Roberts Evangelistic Association, which sponsors weekly and daily television programs. “This story will touch the heart strings of every reader. Once you have begun it you will have to finish it. It won’t let you alone. It will tug at your heart for many days to come.

This is a new release of the original 1952 edition.
Here are eleven personal biographies, gathered and edited by G. H. Montgomery, Editor of Oral Roberts’ magazine, HEALING, to dramatically illustrate GOD’S FORMULA FOR SUCCESS AND PROSPERITY, and to prove what the power of God will do for those who use their faith in Him and live according to His laws. These eleven people tried to “out-give God,” and failed, for the more they gave of their substance and themselves, the more God prospered them. Here are eleven inspiring stories which are true. You will read them and enjoy them, and when you are discouraged, and feel that you have been passed by you will read them again and be encouraged. For this is the proof of what Oral Roberts preaches, shown in his lives of men who are unusual only because they believed, they trusted, and they gave what they had without thought of reward—and were prospered.
