Grimshaw of Haworth

Haworth, home of the Bronte sisters, was also home, some seventy years earlier, to one of the great men of the eighteenth century evangelical revival in Britain: William Grimshaw of Haworth. J.C. Ryle regarded him, along with John Wesley and George Whitefield, as one of the three greatest men in England at the time. I have written on him at my blog, because the three hundredth anniversary of his birth falls tomorrow, 14 September 2008. The current biography by Faith Cook is a wonderful read. The righteous deserve to be held in everlasting remembrance.
