A Noble Company, Volume 5

The twenty figures covered in this fifth volume knew much of what the English Puritan George Swinnock referred to as a God-given “heaven in the heart,” or godly experience. It was their prime motivation to live out their days in consecration to the Lord, accomplish their work and when the appointed time came, was a faith they could die by.

In addition to such leading lights as William Rogers of Philadelphia and Richard Furman of Charleston, this volume features the lives of two significant black Baptist ministers of the period, George Liele and Andrew C. Marshall.
