These sermons shed great light on the "Good ole preachers of yester year."
When you've finished this book you will understand why so many were converted during this era.
I'm impressed by the way this Servant of God preaches. He cuts right to the heart of the matter and brings your heart into the matter!
You'll see shades of Spurgeon in his sermons. Very effective!

My heart was truly stirred up by the Spirit as I merely read the sermon notes of this anointed preacher. I felt as if I was hearing him really preach and the message stirred up not only one's mind, but the affections as well to want to hear by faith.... the words on the pages... and to preach more effectively as well!!!

The reason I am saying this book is a 1 star is because it only has 6 sermons in it! I thought it had the usual 59 sermons that you find online. But it doesn't. The title of the book seemed to mean it contained more than just 6 sermons. It might well be worth 5 stars for some or most people, but I bought this book thinking it contained the majority of his sermons. Again, it doesn't. Only 6. I have not read this book, however I did read the 2 Volume biography on G.W. (the biography is AWESOME). I guess it was my fault for not looking into this book further before purchasing. I would bet what is in this book is good, but it's just not what I was looking for, nor did it have any "table of contents" available online. So, probably a GREAT book for what it is but not what I was thinking it was. Disappointed with only 6 sermons inside.

The longer I live the more I realize how little I know. SELECT SERMONS OF GEORGE WHITEFIELD is a perfecting fascinating story of perhaps one of most electrifying persons in the history of the Western World. I had never heard of him so this was a tremendous boost to my education. Why in the world a man like Whitefield isn't spotlighted in high school or colleges speaks volumes of what's wrong with American education. This is a must read!
