Turning Points: How the Salvation Army Found a Different Path

Never in the history of the world has there been an organization like The Salvation Army.

When founders William and Catherine Booth combined the existing ecclesiastical structure of the Christian Mission with the framework of the military, it was more than a gimmick – something new was created. If that were not enough, in 1890 The ARmy wagted a full frontal attack on society's ills and incorporated a social service ministry. To this day there is nothing else quite like it.

Turning Points outlines key moments in The Salvation Army's history and illustrates how Salvationists faithfully serve God and all of humanity.
