Item description for Travel with William Grimshaw: The man who saw God visit Haworth (Day One Travel Guides) by Fred Perry...
Overview
Overview A dissolute and wasted life was transformed into that of one of the most effective preachers in the north of England in the eighteenth century. When William Grimshaw arrived at Haworth as the new parish minister only a handful attended the church; yet within a few years over a thousand could be found at the service of communion. John Wesley once hoped that he would succeed him as leader of the Methodists, but Grimshaw's unsparing work for the Gospel meant that he died nearly thirty years before Wesley! This is the incredible story of an eccentric enthusiast for the Christian message. Features - Places of interest to visit - Over 130 photographs, most in full colour - Clear illustrated maps - Valuable reference guide for the armchair traveller - Inspirational and informative - Interesting insights - Highly collectable series

Reviews - What do customers think about Travel with William Grimshaw: The man who saw God visit Haworth (Day One Travel Guides)?
 | God's whipper in Oct 20, 2007 |
| Grimshaw is one of the great larger than life characters of English church history. It appears that he was not the only vicar to have the errant whipped into church attendance. This guide gives a good biography and as with others in this series, a helpful guide to visiting the area where Grimshaw lived and preached. I found it to be a fascinating account of a very human man who lived to see the gospel proclaimed. He had a remarkable ministry transforming a parish church with few attenders into one where thousands would come to hear him preach. The book also has fascinating historic insights into such things as a parish posse pursuing the father who has abandoned the mother of his illegitimate child so that she would not be a burden on the parish and of public church penance for fornicators. | | | Write your own review about Travel with William Grimshaw: The man who saw God visit Haworth (Day One Travel Guides)
