                                     — Dr. James O. Combs, Provost, Louisiana Baptist University 

  “I would love to have known him personally.  He (Dr. J. Frank Norris) was a great, positive influence and wonderful example for pastors.”

                                    — Dr. Charles Stanley, pastor of First Baptist Church, Atlanta,                               Georgia, and founder of IN TOUCH MINISTRIES  

  “J. Frank Norris, without a doubt, in my own thinking, was the greatest preacher of the twentieth century and I knew a good many of the great ones--George W. Truett, Harry Ironsides, Billy Sunday, Robert P. 'Fighting Bob' Schuler, and R. G. Lee--he stood head and shoulders above all of them.”
                                 — Dr. John Rawlings, The Rawlings Foundation Administrator 

  “No single preacher has influenced fundamental evangelism in the Church of the

Twentieth Century than Dr. J. Frank Norris.  In my own personal life, I have greatly

been influenced by his ministry, as men trained by him were instrumental in leading me to Christ and training me for the ministry."

                                  --Dr. Jerry Falwell, author, evangelist, founder of Liberty University, and pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church

  “The life of J. Frank Norris was filled with stories of adventure, courage, faith and danger--the stuff from which legends are made.  He met opposition head on and did not fear any man.” 

                                 — Dr. Homer Ritchie, author and evangelist, followed Dr. Norris as pastor of First  Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas
