The North of Wales in the 1770s was one of the least Christian parts of Britain. The next three decades brought a transformation akin to that of the apostolic era and at the centre of the change was Thomas Charles, âthe Lordâs gift to North Walesâ.
Debarred from the pulpits of his own denomination, and dependent on his shop-keeper wife at Bala, Charles quietly became the leader of the people (âCalvinistic Methodistsâ) whose God-anointed witness gathered thousands to the gospel. This astonishing advance involved Bible distribution, the use of circulating schools, preaching, and publishing. More than all these things, there was an outpouring of the Spirit of God and the most enduring lessons of the period have to do with the quality of spiritual life which was then recovered.
This volume, first published in 1838, shows us both what that life was in Thomas Charlesâ own experience and how wisely he taught it to others.
Charlesâ main characteristic, said Edward Morgan (his editor), was his large measure of love and humility. His life itself, âwith heaven in his faceâ, as men said, was a sermon.
For insight into real, biblical Christianity this book will always be one of the classics of evangelical literature. John Eliasâ verdict of many years ago remains true, âWhatever proceeds from Mr. Charles is excellentâ. This was one of the last books in the hands of Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones before his death and it led him to conclude that Thomas Charles âis definitely one of the most neglected of the spiritual leadersâ.
