Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In presenting the first edition of Jimmie Moore to the public, neither author nor publisher considered it necessary to offer a preface, but the book has excited so much interest and there have been so many inquiries as to whether it is truth or fiction, it is considered advisable to state that it is a true story and that all the characters here represented, though six years ago considered hopeless outcasts, are to-day prosperous, happy, contented citizens of Grand Rapids and are living, breathing examples of the transforming power of Jesus Christ, with the glad story of Redemption on their lips every day. The transformation of Bucktown is civic history and the work in that locality has spread to every other locality in this city. Districts that were given over to drunkenness and fights and that were dependent upon benevolent organizations for existence are to-day self-supporting. Surely the day of miracles is not past. Melvin E. Trotter. City Rescue Mission, Grand Rapids, Mich. December 15, 1904.
