George Whitefield

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

De: Arnold A. Dallimore

Narrado por: Bob Souer

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.

Good Introduction to the Life of George Whitefield

This book condenses a two-volume biography of George Whitefield. In this condensed version, the larger context and nuances of The Great Awakening, his views on slavery and why some crowds were hostile to him are glossed over. The narrative at times seems disjointed. But a good introduction to George Whitefield that should spur one to read his sermons and delve deeper into studying his ministry.

Bob Souer is my favorite narrator and his reading of this book is wonderful.

Very Inspiring

There were some tremendously inspiring moments in this biography. George Whitefield was an amazing preacher, preaching filled the hours of his days. His zeal for the word and the lengths he went to study it before starting his ministry brought literal tears to my eyes. I want to be that devoted to the scriptures.

Whitefield over Wesley!

In many ways the doctrines of grace are properly understood by this author and book. Thank you.

makes me want to read the longer 2-volume edition!

This makes me want to read the longer 2-volume edition by Dalimore! His work on Whitefield's life is said to be the best, so it is definitely worth the read. Praise God! This work is very heart stirring and beneficial

wonderful biography.

Great Introduction to George Whitefield

This is the perfect way to wade into the story of George Whitefield, an admirable and inspiring work.

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!
