Synopsis

When Hugh Stowell Brown, aged just twenty-three, arrived in Liverpool to preach at Myrtle Street Baptist, no one could guess his impact on the church and the city. He had barely preached a sermon before and had been a Baptist only a matter of months, but for the next forty years he would successfully pastor the congregation and pioneer social reform amongst Liverpool’s urban poor. Discover how Hugh became a famous preacher, president of the Baptist Union, and both friend and mentor to CH Spurgeon. But more than this, how his Workman’s Bank, civic hall lectures and multiple charity initiatives brought hope and help to people the Church has traditionally struggled to reach. At his funeral, thousands lined the streets and raised a statue in his memory. Recently restored, it stands with this book as a contemporary call to follow in Hugh’s footsteps today.
