From the Back Cover

M. R. DeHaan: The Life Behind the Voice is the inspiring story of the medical doctor whose vision and faithfulness to God's call began the ministry known as Radio Bible Class and the devotional Our Daily Bread. For more than twenty-five years, Dr. Martin R. DeHaan poured his energy into the pioneering radio ministry that is today the multi-media ministry known as RBC Ministries. The Doctor, as he was affectionately called, was a complex and fascinating man who battled his own temptations and whose zeal sometimes created both controversy and division, even within his own family. Yet his gravelly voice and dynamic, direct teaching never lost touch with the human needs around him. Those who know of Dr. DeHaan's teaching will enjoy getting to know the man behind the voice. And those who are meeting him for the first time will be
inspired by what God did with a life given back to Him.

"As the pages of my grandfather's story will show, he was a down-to-earth and ordinary man who shared with his grandchildren a love for gardening, laughter, and fishing for bass on a quiet lake. More importantly, he gave us an example of a man deeply committed to the Bible, to the good news of grace, and to the anticipation of the any-moment return of Christ.

"Because, in the providence of God, the influence of M. R. DeHaan went far beyond his family, I am pleased that we are able to offer this updated edition of his biography on the 70th anniversary of the Bible teaching outreach he founded."
-- From the Foreword by Mart DeHaan
