Reviews
"Especially since there is no other bibliography of Salvation Army literature available, this volume is recommended for reference collections with an emphasis on religion or church history." - Choice
"begins to fill a serious void in the field of historical research about the Army. . . . Prior to the publication of Moyles' book, there was no such bibliographical guide for beginning researchers. This book provides a useful starting place . . . ." - Horizons
"That such a wealth of material could be so deftly organized is no small achievement. . . . Especially useful is the occasional annotation identifying the content of a work or establishing its context. Moyles's bibliography is a valuable contribution to the scholarly study of religion and social history, but will appeal as well to a more general audience." - American Reference Books Annual
