Thought you guys might be interested on the reflection paper I did on “Armies of the Lamb.”

Ian,
Thanks for this! I too have been moved by Fuller’s letters. I read them before I go to sleep as part of my “devotional” time. They are truly challenging and a blessing.
You may be interested in a little 4 part series that Steve Weaver did on here.

Thanks Al, I did see those posts. Steve’s a great writer.
My appreciation for Fuller grew after reading the letters. And that is after I had read Offering Christ to the World and At the Pure Fountain of Thy Word (which are both excellent)!

You may be interested to know about my book which contains research into the local history of Andrew Fuller, John Sutcliff and William Carey. From your post title, it is clear that you are sensitive to the fact that they were all closely connected with Northamptonshire, but of course Fuller`s influence was also significant at Olney (Buckinghamshire) in the time of John Sutcliff, William Carey and John Newton.
For further information about me, my credentials and my book `Glorious Hope: women and Evangelical religion in Kent and Northamptonshire, 1800-1850`, please visit my website:
http://www.comptontowers.co.uk
and my blog:
Church and chapel people, 18th and 19th centuries
You will see that one chapter of my book concerns a young lacemaker
and hymn writer from Hackleton, Northamptonshire. In this I deal with Carey`s conversion and his local connection with Hackleton Baptist Church. I have discovered and delved into primary sources about local Particular Baptists never before used for research.
I shall be pleased to hear that you are interested.

Miss Phillips,
Yes, your book does look quite interesting. Would you consider sending us a review copy for possible review in The Gospel Witness or Eusebeia: The Bulletin of the Andrew Fuller Center for Baptist Studies.
Thank you!
Allen Mickle
