Abstract

Arnold Dallimore is well-known for his two-volume biography of evangelist George Whitefield. This essay explores Dallimore's own personal biography, his growing up in impoverished conditions in Depression-era Canada, his education at Toronto Baptist Seminary, his various ministerial challenges, and the factors involved in writing his magnum opus. It is written towards encouraging other "ordinary pastors" to be used of God in their own life situation, whether or not to do something extraordinary, in Dallimore's case, but to always be faithful to their calling.
