Book Summary From Amazon:
God’s accomplishments through George Whitefield are to this day virtually unparalleled. In an era when many ministers were timid and apologetic in their preaching, he preached the gospel with zeal and undaunted courage. In the wake of his fearless preaching, revival swept across the British Isles, and the Great Awakening transformed the American colonies.
The previous two-volume work George Whitefield: The Life and Times of the Great Evangelist of the Eighteenth-Century Revival is now condensed into this single volume, filled with primary-source quotations from the eighteenth century, not only from Whitefield but also from prominent figures such as John and Charles Wesley, Benjamin Franklin, and William Cowper.

Whitefield is such an interesting person, being that he rose to fame so quickly and seemingly out of the blue. Yet in spite of all the notoriety and power he had, he did not let it change who he was. I was particularly impacted by how he made the gospel message more important than his own career or financial gain. He willingly lost money and positions so that he could preach more efficiently to people.
