Ready for some leisure reading?


The Printer and the Preacher chronicles the friendship of George Whitefield and Benjamin Franklin throughout the careers of both–one as a traveling preacher of increasing fame, and the other as a budding statesman.  Though very different in their outlook on life and its meaning, as well as that of society, they both find a deep friend in the other, and influence each other greatly as they both play a part in the growth of the United States as a fledgling nation.  This gives context to the life of one of America’s founders, and would work well in a US History class, unit, or lesson.
