In his lifetime the popularity of William Gadsby was immense. He has been described by church historians as "no less important in his way....than Bunyan". Gadsby was an outstanding preacher greatly used by God but he also became widely known and respected for fearlessly championing the cause of the poor and oppressed - Manchester (where he was minister for 38 years) being a centre of social discontent. Today he is best known because of the hymns he wrote, especially the beautiful 'Immortal honours'.
This is the first full- length biography ever to appear and is the result of 30 years of painstaking and thorough research. The author's aim has been to tell, in an interesting way, the story of a most godly man and minister.
