A Great Blessing to Me: John Newton Encounters George Whitefield

The great preacher George Whitefield and the abolitionist John Newton were two giants of the 18th century Evangelical movement in Britain. This book views these two fascinating figures through the lens of their encounters with each other, an approach that highlights the distinctives of both men.

George Whitefield, regarded as the preaching wonder of his day, and John Newton, one of the leading spiritual guides of the movement that Whitefield had a significant hand in creating, Evangelicalism, are perennially interesting figures.  
These lives, intertwined as this study of a portion of those lives reveals, speak across the centuries to our day. These two marvelous characters have much to teach contemporary Christians. A great read for both the professional historian and the thoughtful Christian.Read less
