ENDORSEMENTS
‘Perhaps this century has not produced another who could say with more justice and propriety to his hearers (if his great humility would have permitted him). “be ye followers of me, as I am of Christ”.’ — JOHN NEWTON
‘A few such as him would make a nation tremble. He carries fire wherever he goes.’ — JOHN WESLEY
‘Grimshaw’s unflagging energy and vigorous defense of the faith was matched by a charitable spirit that was a model of true Christlikeness . . . a surprising measure of what he said and wrote is germane to the times in which we live. This is a welcome addition to the rich treasure trove already available from the Banner of Truth. It is also a classic example of what a good biography ought to be.’ — JOHN MACARTHUR
‘A biography that I hold dear because it is a challenge to my wimpishness, something this Canadian Christian historian deeply laments. Grimshaw was a true radical.’ — MICHAEL HAYKIN
‘Atmosphere, action, great character: it’s Wuthering Heights meets Whitfield-Wesley revival.’ — MIKE REEVES
