Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This moving biography traces the extraordinary life of John Gregg, a man of faith whose passion for the Irish people led him on a profound spiritual journey. Born into a large family in 1798, Gregg faced challenges from a young age, including the early death of his father. Despite these hardships, his unwavering determination and love of learning shone through. In 1819, he entered Trinity College Dublin, where he excelled in his studies and developed a deep commitment to the ministry. Gregg's powerful sermons and charismatic nature ignited a revival within the Church of Ireland, drawing vast crowds and inspiring countless individuals. His unwavering belief in the transformative power of education led him to establish home missions, traveling the length and breadth of Ireland to share the Gospel and foster spiritual growth. Throughout his life, Gregg fearlessly challenged societal norms, advocating for religious freedom and the eradication of poverty. His dedication to his flock was unwavering, even during the tumultuous Tithe War when many clergy faced opposition.
