George Whitefield: The Voice That Woke the World

George Whitefield

The Voice that Woke the World

In the Trailblazers Series!

The thundering voice of George Whitefield was the envy of many a professional actor. He could hold a crowd’s attention like no other! But although he had wanted to be an actor as a young boy, God’s plan was for George to use his voice for much greater things.

After coming to know the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal savior George went on to preach to many people in the United Kingdom, America and the world. He was the first to preach to the slaves of the United States. And it is estimated that he spoke at more than 18,000 sermons during his life.
