George Whitefield

God’s Anointed Servant in the Great Revival of the Eighteenth Century

This fast-paced, inspirational narrative reveals how God used one man of great courage, discipline, and humility to bring countless souls to Christ.

God’s 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 18th century, not only from Whitefield but also from such prominent figures as John and Charles Wesley, Benjamin Franklin, and William Cowper.

Very Engaging and Interesting! Great Narration!

I love reading/listening to biographies. This was short enough to listen to in a day and long enough to get in depth, and not just scratch at the surface of Whitefield's life. I love hearing about the life of George Whitefield and this was very satisfying, as I learned a lot more about the man and his friends (and enemies), than I had from other, shorter biographies.

By the way, the narrator, Bob Souer, was the icing on the cake. His smooth, clear and articulate delivery really made the book so easy to listen to. He obviously knew the subject matter. Sometimes, the narrator can make or break a good audio book, and Bob Souer really added great listening pleasure!

For fans of Whitefield, and biographies, I highly recommend this audio book!

Very inspiring and challenging!!!!

This book is very helpful and shares a few aspects of the life of George Whitfield that often are overlooked or not understood...also it grants a glimpse into some obscured bends of the the life of John Wesley.... indeed very helpful and encouraging!

Overall a good coverage of his life.

The only negative issue was the American narrators incorrect pronunciation of English place names. It was interesting to read a different perspective of the Methodist movement. Also seeing how Whitfield was completely selfless even in the face of criticism and opposition from his contemporaries. He always put the gospel first.

Good!

Let this book stir you , refresh and help to renew your commitment to the savior!

Whitefield is a man worth knowing

I have long heard the name Whitefield, but I didn't know much about him. Definitely a worthwhile listen, about a giant in the faith who pointed faithfully to Christ.
