A further account of God's dealings with the Reverend Mr. George Whitefield, from the time of his ordination to his embarking for Georgia
In this book, George Whitefield talks about his life, how he raised money for the poor throughout his life work, and came to Georgia from England, to spread his religious passion. He mentions how he was in a dilemma on whether to ever move to Georgia or remain in England. He chose “not to look back” and moved to Georgia, where he helped several prisons. He visited the prisoners and tried to “awaken their souls” through his sermons. He usually spent his leisure time visiting the city prisons and poorhouses and helped them discover the ways of god and receive the same commonwealth as the rest of the colonist did (Orentas 2). He also mentions in his autobiography that he raised money for the poor prisoners and helped them find jobs. He mentioned that he made acquaintanceship with the rich only for the benefit of the poor and good himself, thus showing his extreme devout to god. Whitefield had worked with John and Charles Wesley, who also were like-minded young adults like him, helping the poor for a greater cause. Together they worked to convert people through their preaching, otherwise known as evangelicalism, and tried to revive Christianity among the colonies again. He mentions that he traveled across the sea with the Wesley brothers, to reach Georgia because it would be a great advantage for him and he could reach out to the Indians. He remarks on the fact that he was offered large amount of money to stay back in England, but rather refused that money and went Georgia.
