All are heroes in different ways, from Spurgeon and Edwards to Hewitson and Kalley who evangelised in Madeira, or Charles and Mary Colcock Jones who evangelised among the slaves on their cotton plantations in the USA.<br \/>\nThe Chapters on the different evangelists are broken into clearly different areas; this enables Murray to state controversial issues and examine them with regard to theology, historical context, social situation and family relationships where it is appropriate.<\/p>\n<p>Predictably, I found the chapters on evangelists I had no knowledge of the more interesting, as they highlighted hidden treasures of lives and experiences that could have so easily become lost to man\u2019s history &#8212; for example the work of Kalley and Hewitson in Madeira. But also in those better known evangelists, Murray has been able to bring freshness to their biographies.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than to give an all too brief synopses of the book, I would advise you to buy it and enjoy a well written and good introduction to several evangelists.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">This review was first posted on GoodBookReviews.org.
