<p>Anne Steele (1717–1778) has been recognized as one of the leading female hymnwriters of her time. In Anne Steele and Her Spiritual Vision, Priscilla Wong demonstrates how Steele was able to see God in different circumstances of her life and expressed it in three main themes that can be found in her hymnody: the glory of God in creation, faith in the face of suffering, and hope in the promised glory.This close analysis of Steele's hymns not only establishes a more coherent and intimate picture of the hymnwriter's life and spirituality but also cultivates a more intense desire for Christians at large to grow in their faith and understanding of God Table of Contents: Introduction The Glory of God in Creation Faith in the Face of Suffering Hope in the Promised Glory Anne Steele's Hymnody: A Window into the Christian Journey</p>

<p>Many associate the names George Whitefield and John Wesley with the eighteenth-century Evangelical Revival, while the name Selina Hastings, the Countess of Huntingdon, is less familiar. But this remarkable woman played a crucial role in the revival in Europe, interacting and forming friendships with many of its key players. The Countess leveraged her wealth and high position in English society to widen the evangelistic impact of the revival. Her sacrifices would ultimately see, among her many efforts, the establishment of over 60 chapels and a college for training ministers.\nReaders will be encouraged not only by how steadfastly Selina laboured but also by how she persevered in the face of illness, the deaths of her husband and children, and devastating setbacks in her gospel ministry. Yet trusting wholeheartedly in Christ her Saviour-and not the vanity and riches prized by her aristocratic peers-Selina lived out a faith characterized by boldness, zeal, and love. One evangelical leader described her influence: "I feel from Lady Huntingdon's example an increasing desire both for myself and for you and all our friends that we may be active and eminent in the life of grace."</p>
