Overview

A little-known resource on the world-renowned English Baptist preacher, by his friend, who himself has long had a familiar and revered name among evangelicals. This is a brief but fitting summary of the famous preacher's life. As an introduction to this spiritual giant, especially the early years, Meyer's verbal vignette is a welcome contribution to the many resources on this remarkable individual.
