Vol. 1

Imagine the pleasure of finding Voltaire, Samuel Johnson, Rousseau and Gibbon between one set of covers! Each author is prefaced by a couple of paragraphs explaining the significance of the piece and then, they are given free rein.

If there is any man brave enough to give this collection of the World's great thinkers less than five stars, its not I! Superb reading of people just beginning to exercise their new found right to question everything.
This is the article that convinced me to read Mr. Whitefield. How can a man read this and not be brought to tears?
Whitefield was one of the main contributers to the Great Awakening. He was a friend of Benjamin Franklin and was renouned for his powerful oratory. While have no complaints with most of what I have read - it just doesn't capture me the way other authors of his theological bent have. Still have a lot to read, so ..... we'll see
A persuasive appeal from a powerful evangelist (Sometimes when I am speaking of God's goodness, I am afraid he will strike me down dead).
