Description: The best introduction to the 18th century and undoubtedly Ryle's finest piece of historical writing. Contains vivid biographies of the men who 'shook England from one end to the other'. Whitefield, Wesley, Grimshaw, Romaine, Rowlands, Berrigge, Venn, Toplady. From his vantage point in the 1800's, J.C. Ryle describes the pathetic moral climate of England when these men appeared with fresh, vibrant and scripturally based spiritual life. A few isolated and humble clergymen "preaching the chief instrument they employed." Increadibly beneficial reading as we pray for God's effectual working in our own day.
