William Sharp Jr.

William Sharp Jr. (1805-1882) was a Strict and Particular Baptist believer. He was the eldest son of gospel minister, William Sharp, Brighton. After moving to a large city in early adulthood, he received a message from his father, warning him of the temptations in such a place and cautioning him to take seriously his soul. He was eventually led by the hand of God to the gospel ministry of Henry Fowler, under whose preaching the Lord was pleased to apply the saving grace of Christ.
