[Garth · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a great idea for a book. Don't just read about someone, but read from their own writings. I loved the introductions and the various issues these writing examples covered. I loved his mix of convictions and concern for the spiritual vitality of those connected to him. Found a few of the chapters quite moving.

The benefit of this book is that it introduces you to the writings of Andrew Fuller, and then teaches you how to read primary sources through really helpful questions.

Would work well for the classroom and small groups.
