Steve P. Holcombe, the Converted Gambler: His Life and Work

ByGross Alexander

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
The story of Steve Holcombe, the murderer, scoundrel and riverboat gambler who became a pastor ministering to the least of these in Louisville, Kentucky in the late 1800s. After leading a fairly scandalous life for his first 40 years, he repented, became a Christian and began the Union Gospel Mission as an outreach to the drunkards, the criminal, the down-and-out, the gamblers, the whores, the poorest of the poor... the "least of these." His life story is a powerful witness of the redemptive power of God's love. This story was written by Gross Alexander and originally published by the Courier Journal Press in 1880. This has been reprinted by permission.
