The Incredible Life of George Whitefield

George Whitefield's life was marked by an astonishing dedication to preaching, exemplified by his prolific output over 30 years. He delivered approximately 18,000 sermons, often preaching multiple times a day to enormous crowds, with estimates suggesting that four-fifths of the American colonial population heard him at least once. This extraordinary commitment was coupled with a relentless travel schedule that involved preaching in various countries, including England, Ireland, and America, often without the conveniences of modern transport. His capacity to speak for up to 60 hours a week and maintain such a rigorous pace without documented rest demonstrates a level of dedication rarely seen in the history of Christian preaching.
