Publisher's Synopsis
George Whitefield made five successful itinerant preaching tours throughout colonial New England, during which he was both appreciated and unwelcomed. Whitefield shook colonial New England, as a blessing to some and as a curse to others. George Whitefield's Ministry, written by Kenneth Lawson, is a travelogue of Whitefield's incessant activities to the Puritan and post-Puritan communities. Much of the eyewitness material in this book has never been collected in one place.
By digging deeply into the daily life and travels of Whitefield-through his journals, his correspondence, and hundreds of previously uncollected eyewitness accounts-we discover Whitefield as a man steadfast in his faith and life, regardless of the waves of opposition he faced in New England. His fidelity to the Gospel and his support of revival are an inspiration to contemporary Christianity.
