As a young man William Booth saw the poverty and suffering that surrounded him in the streets of Nottingham and the East End of London - but he could not have imagined that the organisation he founded would have such a worldwide impact. This remarkable man launched a movement against the poverty and social deprivation that brought misery to millions. At first reviled, later honoured, his is the story of what God can do with a life entirely devoted to Jesus Christ. Nearly a hundred years after his death the Salvation Army today works in over 100 countries, with 14000 Corps.
