This book which I downloaded in electronic form and read on kindle is a full and leisurely account of the life and ministry of the author's father. It includes many quotes from Fawcett's journal, letters to and from him and his poetry. A rambling book, its 440 pages could easily be reduced by half and still be worth reading. I read it at a quick pace seeking out information for a paper I am to give on Fawcett next month. Fawcett, a Particular Baptist pastor in Hebdenbrodge, Yorkshire, was clearly a godly man, a fine preacher and a force to be reckoned with in his day (1740-1817). At the end of the book are two of his sermons.
