The Revived Puritan: The Spirituality of George Whitefield

Book Description:

George Whitefield was a man of uncommon piety and holiness. He was used by God in a powerful way in the eighteenth century to bring about true revival in England and America.

Dr. Haykin writes an engaging introduction to The Revived Puritan which focuses on Whitefield's walk with God and his deep experience of the new birth. The selections from Whitefield's letters which follow, many unpublished since the eighteenth century, provide a first-hand look at his spirituality and are a source of meditation, encouragement and challenge for those seeking revival and spiritual awakening in our day.
