The Life of the Rev. George Whitefield, Volume 2 (of 2)

"The Life of the Rev. George Whitefield, Volume 2 (of 2)" by L. Tyerman continues the story of George Whitefield, a central evangelist and important voice for Methodism in the 1700s across Britain and America. This book follows Whitefield's impact on religious awakenings, especially in Scotland, and the difficulties he navigated among different religious groups. It begins with Whitefield's second trip to Scotland in 1742, where he sees the effects of his previous preaching in powerful religious changes, it points out stories of personal transformation and prayer groups that formed. It also portrays the strong emotions of people as he gives sermons. The book also shows the resistance Whitefield faced from some Presbyterian leaders who questioned his approaches and beliefs. The atmosphere is intensely religious as Whitefield preaches, facing both strong support and argument as he tries to bring different Christian groups together.
