Endorsements

‘Justice has at last been done to the greatest preacher that England has ever produced.’– D. M. LLOYD-JONES

‘One of the great monumental literary achievements of the 20th century. George Whitefield has come alive for me as I have been reading the book, a few pages at a time each evening.’– Dr. SHERWOOD E. WIRT

‘…My heart was tremendously stirred as I read it – more than it has been for many, many years.’– Dr. OSWALD J. SMITH

Book Description

The period 1741-1770, covered by this second and concluding volume, was not one of cloudless sunshine. It opened with the doctrinal conflict with the two Wesleys and with a serious division in Methodist ranks. But this was quickly followed by a visit to Scotland in which revival reached its high watermark. Then came years of unwavering effort to evangelize the people of the English-speaking world and to consolidate the gains. Multitudes of ‘the humble poor’ believed, and members of the aristocracy heard the message of grace.

An outstanding biography, popularly written, and with an urgent message for the present day.

  1. David J. Harris

    This is an incredible book. Dallimore does such a fine job of presenting Whitefield’s ministry philosophy as he chronicles his life, that you could almost use these chapters as lectures for a course on Christian ministry.

    Whitefield’s example as an evangelist, preacher, and even Christian seems unrivaled during his time. The mistakes are overshadowed by success. His humility shines through the pages. His love for Christ fills the reader’s heart. And just like volume 1, this book is nearly impossible to put down. Great investment of money and time.
