Born in 1714, George Whitefield was an influential figure in the Methodist church with a gift for writing and preaching sermons on a wide range of topics, including the practice of personal prayer and meditation, reaping the benefits of piety, and many others. Confessions of a Fool, Selected Sermons contains 59 sermons that communicate the scripture in a way that's just as relevant to Christianity in modern times as it was in the 1700's. Whitefield was a passionate speaker, and aimed to connect with his flock through uplifting insights into the spiritual path of Christianity.
