Selected from his letters and papers by Edward Morgan. 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 center of the change was Thomas Charles, 'the Lord's gift to North Wales'. This volume, first published in 1838, shows us both what that life was in Thomas Charles' own experience and how wisely he taught it to others. Charles' main characteristic said Edward Morgan (his editor), was his large measure of love and humility. His life itself, 'with heaven in his face', as men said was a sermon.

Author  Thomas Charles (14 October 1755 – 5 October 1814) was a Welsh Nonconformist clergyman of considerable importance in the history of modern Wales.
