George Whitefield ivot a doba velkho evangelisty probuzen osmnctho stolet (2026)

This biography recounts the extraordinary life of George Whitefield and his close friends, including the brothers John and Charles Wesley. At first, they struggled to understand Gods Word, especially the Gospel; after their conversion by Gods grace, they preached wherever the Lord sent them. Their ministry was accompanied by an extraordinary work of the Holy Spirit, with large numbers of sinners turning to Christ. From the age of twenty-four, when he led the largest gatherings America had ever seen, until his death thirty years later, Whitefields voice was heard throughout the English-speaking world. He is widely regarded as the greatest preacher of the eighteenth century. His preaching became a transforming force in the religious awakening that shaped the history of Britain and the United States, reviving Reformation teaching, challenging religious apathy in Scotland and England, and helping make Wales a nation formed by the Bible. Beginning during a period of profound religious indifference and scepticism, Whitefields life also provides an exceptional study of Christian revival, whose hidden source lay not in people or circumstances but, by Gods grace, in a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The book offers hope that the Gospel of forgiveness and new life in Jesus Christ will continue to spread while the age of grace lasts. The text is in Czech.
