ISBN 978-1-941106-32-7 | List $25.99

Internationally-celebrated revivalist George Whitefield stands alone for both his extraordinary life of passion for God and the striking power and emotion of his writing. Preaching an estimated 18,000 sermons during numerous international preaching tours, Whitefield also published wildly popular writings such as journals and letters. In Hammer & Fire, modernized excerpts of Whitefield’s writings combine with engaging retellings of his most impactful life events to enable the popular eighteenth-century preacher to reach across the centuries to inspire and instruct us to pursue Jesus Christ with reckless love and abandon. Discussion questions included.

Smith’s carefully researched and beautifully crafted volume provides the reader with an excellent introduction to the life and ministry of the great 18th century evangelist, George Whitefield. It also invites readers to experience for themselves the same kind of spiritual renewal and passion to serve God that captured Whitefield’s heart when he was a student at Oxford. Far more than an introduction to a celebrated preacher, Smith provides a spiritual feast for readers who are hungry to know God more fully and to serve God more faithfully.
