The Pacific Garden Mission: A Doorway to Heaven

Witness a spectacular panorama of redemption in this classic historical account of America's most famous urban rescue mission.

Can the gospel of Jesus Christ truly reach into the darkest corners of human desperation and completely transform a shattered life? If you have ever doubted that the age of miracles is still active, this book stands as an unshakeable, beautifully documented answer.

In The Pacific Garden Mission, Dr. Carl F.H. Henry—one of the premier evangelical theologians of the twentieth century—pulls back the curtain on the legendary rescue mission founded in Chicago in 1877 by Colonel and Mrs. George R. Clarke. Far from a dry history lesson, Henry masterfully collects the gripping lore and firsthand testimonies of a ministry operating directly on the front lines of human extremity.

Step into the gritty streets of Chicago's old lodging district to witness how a simple, old-fashioned message of "Ruin, Redemption, and Regeneration" transformed thousands of outcasts, drunkards, and gamblers into towering pillars of the Christian faith.
