ABOUT THE AUTHOR: George W. Truett (1867-1944) was an American Baptist pastor. He accepted Christ as his Saviour at age 19, and when he surrendered his heart to Christ for salvation, he also surrendered his will to God for service. The desire of his life seemed to be “Thy will be done.”
In 1890, he was ordained by the Whiteright Baptist Church in Texas. In 1897, he graduated from Baylor University and in September of that year was called to the pastorate of First Baptist Church of Dallas, Texas, and remained there for 47 years. Under his leadership, First Baptist Church grew into the largest church in the world at that time. Dr. Truett served as president of the Southern Baptist Convention from 1927 to 1929 and as president of the Baptist World Alliance from 1934 to 1939.
