Description: "From the twentieth century comes the story of "RELIGION IN SHOES," in the person of Brother Bryan of Birmingham, who for more than forty years walked the streets of that great industrial city, ministering in the  name of Jesus Christ to high and low, to gambler, drunkard, prostitute, and to those who by the grace of God had been kept from flagrant sin.  The ministry of "RELIGION IN SHOES" was not tied by the distinctions of race or creed, but with a love which was inclusive and with a sympathy which found no boundaries it blessed all.  The reason for this book is the uniqueness of the story of this man, who sincerely followed Jesus.” -- Author (excerpt from the Preface)
