"Whitefield revolutionised eighteenth century Christianity by preaching the gospel accessibly and passionately to thousands of ordinary listeners at enormous open air gatherings. The power of Whitefield's words brought many to belief, and his reputation as a preacher travelled before him, causing a sensation throughout England and in America. He wrote his journals specifically for publication, both to bring glory to God and to help raise money for the orphanage he founded in Georgia" --page 4 of cover.
