He's Calling for Thee

Author: Edward Boone

Rev. Edward Boone was born in Michigan. He moved to Iowa in 1937 where he founded the First Pilgrim Church (now known as Debra Heights Wesleyan). He also began a religious broadcast featuring "The Boone Family" which consisted of his wife, three daughters, and a son-in-law. He wrote and compiled several books. In 1942 he opened Boone's Book and Bible Store. He retired in 1957 and traveled as a missionary to several countries.
