    About this audiobook

    Filled with humor, wisdom and loving detail, the powerful story of Peter Marshall's life has touched the hearts and minds of millions of people. It's a story about love-the love between a dynamic man and his God, and the tender love between a man and the woman he married. It is also the gripping adventure of a poor Scottish immigrant who became chaplain of the United States Senate and one of the most revered men in America. A Man Called Peter became the number-one best-seller when it was published in 1951, and around the world lives were changed by reading of the chaplain's remarkable faith. In the foreword to this audio book, Peter's son writes, "Even when [Dad's] words were preached 'secondhand'. . . in the movie version of A Man Called Peter, they had an amazing effect on people." Through Peter's story and the compelling sermons and prayers included in A Man Called Peter, you will discover insight into God, man, and life on earth and hereafter. You will also be encouraged by the realization that "if God can do so much for a man called Peter, he can do as much for you."

    Author

    Catherine Marshall

    I was born in Yorkshire, England, one of five children. Mum was a Geordie, and Dad was a Yorkshireman, an interesting mix. We migrated to Australia in 1960 as ten-pound-poms. A biomedical scientist by profession, I'm now retired and living in Tasmania. I spend my time writing, researching my family tree and enjoying the company of my children and grandchildren. My books have been inspired by our family history, passed down through the many tales our parents told us – no doubt much embroidered but endlessly entertaining.

      This book, ya'll. So where's the 5 billion star button again?

      I don't think I have ever been so impacted by a single mortal man. I don't know in what way yet, but this book, and this man changed me.

      From a reading perspective, it was very well written, and very accurate, as it is written by Peter Marshall's wife. It was almost autobiographical, which I liked. All the stories were so amazing and inspiring, and many of them I was either wiping tears, or clutching my side laughing.

      I loved this book! I would highly recommend it to all people! It blessed and encouraged me in a way I cannot explain, as it and the life of Peter Marshall have done to many people. A must read!

      I liked this biography. Wish we had more men of his 'ilk' today.
    • 5/5
      A great biography about Peter Marshall, who ministered in Washington DC for some time and was Chaplain of the US Senate. Written by his wife it gives great insight into a man who thousands came to hear preach in the thirties and forties. Great insight into the live of a minister and his wife and family, both into the good things and the tough things.
    • 5/5
      A wonderful book! I read the book after watching the movie as a child. It is a very moving and inspiring story of this man who gave his life to serving his Lord. It tells the story of his life including the struggles and success and his early death. Though he died very young, he used his short time on earth in a beautiful way - telling people of the cleansing, transforming power of Jesus Christ, his Savior. The book includes Catherine's story of Peter as well as several of Peter's sermons; every one of his sermons I've ever read has been a blessing.
    • 4/5
      Very well told. So much I didn't know about the way ministers can serve those in government. A good life to read about.
    • 5/5
      I just discovered Mrs. Marshall with the book Christy. She quickly became one of my favorites. Everyone in my family has read her books and they're grateful for Mrs. Marshall.

      Where is all the book? This audiobook on Scribd is less than 5 hours long. On Audible, the same book is over 10 hours long! No wonder it didn’t make any sense!

      It is very inspiring! I will look up his sermons.

      Biography of a Presbyterian minister, written by his wife. Peter Marshall was a humble and sincere man and became the Chaplain of the US Congress.
