George Whitefields's Journals [Hardcover]

George Whitefield (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2000

If Jesus Christ is not God, of the same essence with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit, having all the attributes of the Trinity while on earth as well as while He reigned in Heaven, then we, of all men, are most miserable. And how do we know that He is, and always has been, God from eternity? It is written in the Holy Scriptures.

But what if the version of the Bible we read is ambivalent, in one place saying He is co-equal with God, and in another place denying Him one or more of the attributes that are essential to God? Read this book and you will see that all but three of the new versions are guilty of denying Christ's goodness, sinlessness, omnipresence, omniscience, omnipotence, and a dozen more of the attributes of God. You will see it written in black and white, with exact quotations from eight of the new versions.

This important challenge to the trend so evident in the new versions (the despising of the words God-breathed out through the prophets and apostles, and the mixing in of the corrupt wisdom of men), ought to be supported by every one of you who love God and His Word as HB wrote it.

This review is from: George Whitefields's Journals (Hardcover)

This book is absolutely priceless on several levels. First of all, we have Whitefield's daily journals covering the prime years of his life and the ones that go right the heart of the Great Awakening, the series of transatlantic revivals that took place from 1735-1745. You read of the powerful movings of the Spirit through his preaching, the tremendous response of the multitudes, and the fascinating one on one conversations Whitefield had with seekers and cynics. It is a fantastic document validating all of the things that transpired during those years of religious fervor.

The journals are also a valuable resource on Whitefield's personal life: His heartaches, his concerns, his desire to build a schoolhouse for blacks, his desire to see kids come to Christ, and his heartfelt gratitude for those who gave him room and board.

We read of his friendships with Ben Franklin, Jonathan and Sara Edwards, Gilbert Tennant and William Tennant, and many others. We read of his almost workaholic tendencies, his frequent bouts of weakness and illness, and his desire to live a hundred lives of service for Christ.

May I also add how impressed I was with how Whitefield's writing style is so saturated in scripture. Reading his journal was almost like reading an extension of the book of Acts!

The book starts out with his own life story and conversion testimony, and then goes right into the Great Awakening years. Buy this book and be enthralled at how God worked in Whitefield's life, and be encouraged with what God can do in your life.
