Light the Fire Again

What makes William Robinson’s letter of 1741 so significant is that it checks three important boxes:

• It highlights historical figures who have played a critical role on the world stage—namely George Whitfield, an Anglican cleric and evangelist.
• It describes a significant event: The Great Awakening, a series of Christian revivals that swept through the American colonies.
• It was written during an extraordinary time: the smallpox epidemic was raging, and severe weather had pummeled the land.

As an itinerant evangelist in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina—seven of the colonies, and perhaps eight with Georgia, Robinson had a great vantage point of historical events. While he may not have been as well-known as Whitfield, he was just as fervent in his belief.

Revelatory and down-to-earth, Light the Fire Again offers a look at the life and work of an important man of God–—and will inspire you to rekindle your faith and walk with the Lord.
