Dr. Vance Havner, 1901 - 1986 was a very popular "revivalist" and Bible conference speaker and authored over 30 books of sermons and devotionals. He became a Christian as a boy, licensed to preach at twelve and ordained at fifteen. His charm, wit, and homespun style of relating biblical truth were convicting and unforgettable. And even today, you still hear preachers quote from his books and sermons.
