Manley Beasley was an evangelist with a very unique message, or should I say a unique way of presenting himself in order to challenge you to revive.You see he was living with Lupus, and I believe a total of 7 diseases [five of which were deadly] for a period of 20 years or more that doctors could not explain why he was still even alive. However, he was convinced of why he was still alive, cuz GOD wasn't done with him yet, and God used those diseases to get Manley to totally trust GOD for everyday, and he preached that way. It was very clear to me when I would listen to his messages. Maybe 'down to earth' is a phrase that doesn't do justice but I'm a simple man and he seemed to have a way to connect to me.I'm sure his style is not for everyone, but it was for me.Anyway, you have some good stuff on him and I will be listening to all of it along with your suggestions also Sermonindex...thnx for the tips...it'll keep me buisy for some time I'm sure. :-) :-) :-)

I'm sure his style is not for everyone, but it was for me.I remember a friend telling me that he was so sick one time that he was laying on a wood board. and they put him in the front of the congregation and tilted the board up so he could preach to the congreagation. The scripture "as unto dying men to dying men" brings new light with that story!

I believe thats true SIndex...I remember hearing that myself...One of his more interesting points once made was that when we pray 'give us this day our daily bread'....BREAD, didn't always mean something we wanted to chew on, but sometimes HAD TO in order to grow....he considered his sickness his daily 'bread'....amazing he was...the example came from the old testement when the 'spys' came back and reported the land so negatively, and Joshua and Caleb responded - NUM 14:9, "Only rebel NOT against the Lord, neither fear the people of the land, for they are 'Bread' for us...and the Lord is with us: fear them not."
