Synopsis

This fast-paced, inspirational, easy-to-read narrative reveals how God used one man of great courage, discipline, and humility to bring countless souls to Christ. Gods accomplishments through George Whitefield are to this day virtually unparalleled. In an era when many ministers were timid and apologetic in their preaching, he preached the gospel with aggressive zeal and undaunted courage. In the wake of his fearless preaching, revival swept across the British Isles, and the Great Awakening transformed the American colonies. The previous two-volume work George Whitefield: The Life and Times of the Great Evangelist of the Eighteenth-Century Revival is now condensed into this single volume filled with primary-source quotations from the eighteenth century, not only from Whitefield but also from such prominent figures as John and Charles Wesley, Benjamin Franklin, and William Cowper.

Goodreads review by Thomas on July 13, 2024

My pastor once recommended that every third book that I read be one written outside of our generation. This biography of George Whitfield illustrates why that is. The character of this man is an inspiration to those who live in our current day. He faces the same challenges that we face, most urgentl......more

Goodreads review by ValeReads on October 09, 2021

I was rather disappointed with this. There appears to be no audiobook available of the full two-volume work, and this felt too skimpy (yet somehow too repetitive). I know Whitefield better (since I was starting pretty much from baseline zero), but I don't know him well. I expected to be enthralled a......more

Goodreads review by Ryan on August 12, 2015

There may be no person who spoke directly in person to more people in the history of the world as George Whitefield. If just for this single fact, a biography of his would be a must read. However, during the 40 years of his preaching ministry, the western world (and by its effects the entire globe)......more
