The Chapel: The Great Heart of The Bowery Mission (2009)

What do the following people have in common: Presidents William Howard Taft and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, hymnwriter Fanny Crosby, Governor Al Smith, retailer JC Penney, reformer Eleanor Roosevelt, evangelists Billy Sunday and Billy Graham, and beat writer Jack Kerouac?  They all are a part of the history of The Bowery Mission Chapel.  Written on the occasion of the Chapel’s 100th Anniversary in 2009, The Chapel is a fascinating history written by Christianity Today senior writer Tony Carnes.
