These two volumes trace the story of how a nation, largely ignorant, frequently debased and with scarce regard for God, was turned round amazingly in the space of a century. And the story is told not in terms of a succession of dates and statistics, but rather in the biographies of the man through whom the change was wrought.
Names like Daniel Rowland, Howell Harris, Thomas Charles and John Elias will possibly be familiar and their story is to be found here. But others like Robert Roberts (Clynnog), Ebenezer Morris and Thomas Jones (Denbigh), not to mention a host of others, all find their place in this quite remarkable account.
