Description:

The Scotsman, Horatius Bonar, had a passionate heart for revival and was a friend and supporter of several revivalists, He was brother to the more well-known Andrew Bonar, together they defended D. L. Moody’s evangelistic ministry in Scotland. He also authored a couple of excellent revival works, one including over a hundred biographical sketches and the other an addendum to Rev. John Gillies’ ‘Historical Collections…’ bringing it up to date.

He was a powerful soul-winner and is well qualified to pen this brief, but illuminating study of the character of true revivalists. This particular work has been reprinted as a separate booklet, but it was originally written as a preface to his edition of Gillies ‘Historical Collections’ first published in 1754.
