"Sunday in New York" is a memorable read into the ministry of Billy Sunday highlighted by unique appearances of distinct individuals who played a role in 1917 America at the beginning of our declaration of war against Germany. It is an inspirational read with an intriguing story line. I highly recommend it.

"Sunday in New York" is a dynamic and riveting story of Billy Sunday, America's outstanding evangelist of the early 20th Century. His powerful Gospel meetings resulted in a spiritual awakening in New York City in 1917 on the eve of World War I. Don't miss this insightful portrayal of the most dynamic preacher of his time.

Robert Allen, in his engaging work "Sunday In New York," has captured the excitement and tensions of the most famous campaign of the athletic evangelist Billy Sunday and his wife and manager Nell, whom he affectionally called "Ma."

“Sunday In New York” by Robert A. Allen is an historical novel worth reading. Not only does it capture the powerful spiritual impact of Billy Sunday’s great 1917 New York City Crusade and all the “behind-the-scenes” efforts that go into such a crusade, but it is written with all of the human interest elements that make for exciting reading. The sinister plots to disrupt the crusade, the fascinating interaction among the characters both for and against the crusade, and the romantic thread throughout the novel between two seemingly mismatched people all make for reading that once I started, I could not put it down.

We yearn to see God's power unleashed. Truth be told, we crave something more than seeing it; we would love to be part of it ourselves. Thanks to Robert Allen, we can travel back a century to watch God's saving power bring thousands to Christ through Billy Sunday. The best part of it? We get to see how God used people who were no different, no stronger than we are today. This book makes me thankful for what God did, and it quickens my hope for what he might do -- through someone like me.

While the story was captivating, more intriguing was the exploration of evangelical Christianity outside of the cultural expectations American believers have come to equate with Christianity. The plot subtly, yet pointedly, explores biblical Christianity compared with mere cultural trappings masquerading as Christianity. What I thought would be a critique of the megachurch trend ended up making me question why we do the things we do in American evangelicalism. More importantly, why do we demand that the world accept the American version of the church as the only way to follow Christ?

Robert Allen, author of a book about evangelist Billy Sunday whose salvationist successor was Billy Graham, has written an incredibly timely book, what with the recent revelation (at this writing) that Rick Warren, perhaps America's best known mega-pastor, has announced plans for his church to identify a successor after his forty years of quarterbacking Saddleback. Pastoral succession, especially in mega-churches, can be one thorny problem, as is evidenced by the multiple immediate successors of W.A. Criswell prior to the finial fit. In this book Allen has taken a novel approach to the problem by incorporating a bit of riveting romance in the recipe for Rev. Replacement. Readers are in for a wild ride through the imagination of Allen and his fascinating biblical theme park with which the Disneyesque author opens his book. He has put some fun in fundamentalism with this adventurous book.
