Richard Baxter
1615–1691 · Pastor of Kidderminster
I preached as never sure to preach again, and as a dying man to dying men.
Life
Transformed a careless town by house-to-house catechizing; later imprisoned for nonconformity.
Why it matters
The Reformed Pastor is still the classic on pastoral visitation and care.
