\u2018This arresting account of Brownlow North\u2019s life and work recalls one of the greatest evangelists of the nineteenth century.\u2019 \u2013 REFORMED EVANGELICAL REVIEW<\/p>\n
\u2018Biography is essential to the diet of the Christian reader and this is of the finest. Warmly written, it is refreshing to read, depicting afresh the power of the gospel in the life of a man whom God was to use powerfully.\u2019 \u2013 AUSTRALIAN CHURCH RECORD<\/p>\n
The fruitfulness of Brownlow North\u2019s ministry led him to become known as the \u2018John the Baptist of the great awakening of 1859\u2019. But what can this largely forgotten evangelist of the nineteenth century teach us today?<\/p>\n
His preaching was marked by an eloquent but unadorned proclamation of Christ as revealed in the Scriptures. He brought fresh impetus to the old truths. He preached to both the hearts and intellects of his hearers. It was biblical evangelism driven by biblical theology. These were the defining characteristics of Brownlow North\u2019s ministry, and his example is a lesson for us today.<\/p>\n
This compact biography sheds light on the life and ministry of a man who had experienced for himself the transforming power of the gospel, and who was used by God to bring many others to know that same power. After Brownlow North\u2019s death in 1875, the then Archbishop of Canterbury wrote to a friend: \u2018No one could know him without seeing that his heart and life were devoted to his Master\u2019s service, and that he burned to preach to others what he had found so precious to his own soul.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
