Henrietta Mears: The greatest Christian educator you've never known

Henrietta Mears changed the course of publishing, college ministry, evangelism and Sunday School in more positive ways than anyone else in the last 100 years.
She encouraged Bill Bright, one of her college boys in her college ministry at Hollywood Presbyterian in the 30s through 60s, to start Campus Crusade for Christ.
She encouraged Billy Graham to stay the course in the ministry when we was young and discouraged.
She started Gospel Light Press, now Gospel Light, in 1933 with a vision "To know Christ and to make Him known" through innovative bible based, Christ centered, child centered and age graded Sunday School curriculum and VBS.

Her life will inspire you. Her writings were solidly reformed and biblical. Her love for Christ was unequaled in her day.

Enjoy.
