N. Loughborough.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Norton Loughborough took his commission seriously. At age 17 he embarked on a ministerial career that would span seven decades and propel him tens of thousands of miles around the globe. Despite a bout with tuberculosis  crushing personal sorrows  impossibly demanding schedules  and recurring ill health  he persevered in the work God asked him to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat work included  among many other things  visiting scattered Adventist believers  speaking at camp meetings  writing articles and books  editing periodicals  entering debates  and conducting evangelistic programs. His administrative abilities were greatly utilized by his adopted church  and during his years of service he pioneered tent meetings  selling tracts  Systematic Benevolence  fund raising  big-city gospel efforts  ship ministry  and numerous other innovative ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis intriguing biography reveals a man who did not revel in controversy  yet did not shy away from standing his ground.
