The Journals of George Whitefield by George Whitefield
These are the journals and autobiography of George Whitefield (1714-1770), who revolutionized 18th-century Christianity by preaching the gospel accessibly and passionately to thousands of ordinary listeners. He regularly preached between 40 and 60 hours a week, to enormous open-air gatherings - and all this before the days of public-address systems. The power of Whitefield's words brought many to belief, and his reputation as a preacher travelled before him, causing a sensation and mass enthusiasm wherever he went.
GEORGE WHITEFIELD (1714-1779) was born in Gloucester, England. He attended Pembroke College at Oxford, where he was a member of the Holy Club with Charles and John Wesley. The group was highly disciplined and methodical in their performance of religion. In 1735, he read Henry Scougal's The Life of God and the Soul of Man and had a spiritual new birth. Ordained in 1736, he started preaching and became very popular immediately. He crossed the Atlantic Ocean many times and preached in churches and open fields. Gifted with a prodigious voice and untiring energy he preached to huge crowds with great consequence.
