Can we get $5 increments please?
"One of the foremost living homilists." —The Golden Rule
This resource should interest many.
It sounds very good, but I don't think my present budget allows $50 for it. Maybe it will yet fall to a price that I can justify. Not that it isn't worth $50. It is just a balance between what I can spend and what I want.
"All preachers, adult Bible class leaders, Sunday-school teachers, mission workers, and general Christians should at once procure this volume and enjoy the mature results of fifty years of Bible study. It will be found a unique help in all departments of Christian life and work."
—Homiletic Review (Knowing the Scriptures: Rules and Methods of Bible Study)
I notice $5 increments is a done deal, BTW.
Bump. This author is representative of a very fascinating time in church history, in my view.
"A service to thinkers along the lines of pure spirituality, applied Christianity, and social evolution has been done by presenting to the public Dr. Pierson's Forward Movements of the Last-Half Century. No romance is more fascinating to the student of social and religious life. The reader is borne along by the writer's enthusiasm as down the current of a swift river. The intense earnestness of the man carries the weight of conviction with it. It is an important contribution in the realm of practical and applied Christianity, and a high type of spirituality."
—The New York Times Saturday Review
God's Living Oracles is a series of lectures delivered in 1903 in London as part of the "Exeter Hall Lectures on the Bible" series. The sole aim of this book is to awaken faith where it does not exist, and to strengthen and confirm it where it does. These lectures cover the science, prophecies, fundamental truths, and unique features of the Bible.
These addresses delivered in Exeter Hall, London, give the concrete facts that bring such conviction that Christ is seen as the revealer of God and the Savior from sin. Send this book to students, ministers, and missionaries.
—The Missionary Review
Dr. Pierson appeals to the everyday reader and not to the scholar only.
—The Bookman
Most useful lectures. . . . The Doctor has a crisp and telling way of putting things which rivets the attention of hearer and reader. The book abounds with forceful illustrations which help to carry conviction to the reader.
—Life of Faith
A popular exposition of Bible themes. There is much deep spiritual teaching in these pages, which may be read with profit by many.
—Record
Many weighty arguments expounded and illustrated. . . . The evidence which abundantly establishes the unique glor of the Bible is stated with freshness and force.
—Methodist Recorder
I agree - lots of invaluable practical and theological resources at a key point in British history
