Publisher's Synopsis
George Whitefield (1714-1770) was an Anglican evangelist, who by his widespread preaching, sparked the 18th-century Protestant revival, the "Great Awakening," throughout Britain and the British American colonies. This book, written by Rev. J. B. Wakeley, (1809-1875) organizes Whitefields life in ancedotal topics rather than chapters. Interesting and entertaining as well as inspirational, this book is a good source for sermon-illustrations or encouragement.
