About the author
Born in 1854, Solomon Benjamin Shaw wrote under the name S. B. Shaw. Reliable library and author-reference sources identify him as a Methodist Episcopal minister, historian, essayist, and editor, and his published work was closely tied to revival movements and practical Christian devotion.
Shaw was associated with Grand Rapids, Michigan, and also lived for a time in Chicago. He edited the Michigan Holiness Record and wrote books including Touching Incidents and Remarkable Answers to Prayer, Old Time Religion, The Great Revival in Wales, and The Dying Testimonies of Saved and Unsaved. His writing often gathered accounts of conversion, prayer, stewardship, and revival, making him a compiler as well as an author.
He appears to have remained active in religious publishing for many years, and later records place his lifespan from 1854 to 1941. Today, his work is mainly remembered by readers interested in revival history, devotional literature, and older Protestant religious testimony.
