About this book:

Samuel Moor Shoemaker would have been a phenomenal success in any vocation. His achievements in the ministry—a vocation he felt committed to as a very young man-are legendary. The spiritual blaze he kindled in the deteriorating brownstone church in Gramercy Park, New York, had a quality which can continue to bring new hope and enthusiasm to churches and congregations today.

The Breeze of the Spirit is built on Sam Shoemaker's conviction that "Christianity is a religion that works." In compelling story form, the book shows how Christianity works and how it can be made practically available to all people who desire a faith that meets their deepest needs.

Irving Harris, one of Sam Shoemakers closest associates, here tells the drama of "Dr. Sam's" ministry and the birth and early growth of the Faith-at-Work movement in a way never told before. Here are unforgettable true stories of how Calvary Church and its East Side Mission touched the life of Bill Wilson, cofounder of Alcoholics Anonymous—of how Red Cap 42 became "the bishop of Grand Central Station"-of how a Brooklyn Jewish intellectual discovered the Messiah- and also of how many Christians such as Corrie ten Boom found, with introductions from Sam Shoemaker and his staff, open doors for their own ministries.

It was not so much Shoemaker's rich personality, nor his best-selling books, that set people on fire with a burning faith in God. It was, quite simply, his love for people as children of God. And that love is captured in every story told in The Breeze of the Spirit.”
